I have updated WRC to work with rc files containing the WIDOW keyword I would like to get the RPM updated

[Gregg Young]

The changes also updated wlink. So I would like to update that RPM also. The zip file containing them is too large to upload. I might be able to attach them individually here or I can upload them to netlabs incoming. I can upload them some where else if that is more convenient. Thanks

[Silvan Scherrer]

please zip the changed exe and put it on netlabs.
of course also put the link here. so we will update the rpm later.

[Gregg Young]

They have been uploaded. Thanks

[Silvan Scherrer]

was/is there a reason you changed the name from wl.exe to wlink.exe? I also see no lvl file, which describes the changes.

[Silvan Scherrer]

and your build includes all fixed Steven did in 2014? According to the version I assume so, but I want to be sure.

[Gregg Young]

The builds include Steven's code. The Watcom build system renames it to wlink but I now see you are packaging the static build. I will upload the static exes with the lvl files. Would you like to include the help files? Also it would be nice to package wipfc.exe as an RPM.

[Silvan Scherrer]

if you provide a static or non static build is not really an issue. But the name is, as gcc needs wl as the name.
I don't think we need the help files right now.

If you could add the needed files for wipfc, I add it to the rpm.

[Gregg Young]

Hopefully I got all the files uploaded correctly. See ​ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/incoming/Open-watcom-wl-wrc-wipfc-for-RPM-packages.zip

[Silvan Scherrer]

I rebuilt the rpm and uploaded it to exp repo. please test

[Gregg Young]

The wl and wrc packages appear to work fine. The wipfc package is incomplete (my bad). It requires a set of configuration files. These files are found using an environmental variable in a standard Open Watcom install (SET WIPFC=U:\Watcom\Wipfc) I will add the files to the lvl file and upload them here. Do you need anything else for this addition?

[Gregg Young]

I have attached the configuration files for wipfc.

[Silvan Scherrer]

hmm are you really sure the files are not there? as the watcom-wipfc package installs the files and also adds a config.sys entry. Of course it needs a reboot after the install.
Could you please double check first?

[Gregg Young]

Some of them are there and misnamed versions of others are there. Wipfc traps with the set included. Sometime between 2010 and 2014 these got changed. I didn't have anything to do with that change and wasn't aware it had occurred. The files attached here are the current versions. I have added a screenshot comparing the current OW install (left side) with what the RPM installs (right side).

[Silvan Scherrer]

please update your installed watcom rpm's and retest.

[Gregg Young]

It still traps but I know why. RPM puts the following line in config.sys:
SET WIPFC=X:\usr\share\os2\wipfc;
Wipfc.exe doesn't tolerate the ";" on the end of this line. Once I removed it everything works fine. Sorry for all the hassle with this. Thanks

[Silvan Scherrer]

ok I updated the rpm once more. please test on a system w/o set wipfc already in.

[Gregg Young]

It now works as expected. Sorry for the delayed response. I have been traveling. Thanks

[Silvan Scherrer]

no problem. Thx for testing.
