= Building NOM =

== Prerequisites ==

The following tools must be installed properly

 * GCC [http://svn.netlabs.org/libc V3.3.x]
 * [http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&button=Search&key=make+3.81&stype=all&sort=type&dir=%2Fpub%2Fos2 GNU make V3.81r1] (other versions may or may not work)
 * [http://hobbes.nmsu.edu/cgi-bin/h-search?sh=1&button=Search&key=glib&stype=all&sort=type&dir=%2Fpub%2Fos2 GLIB V2.6.5] libs and headers (or possibly any later version)
 * A *nix alike shell
 * The GNU file utilities like cp, rm,...
 * GNU text utilities
 * Autoconf 2.59 and friends if configure fails for you
 * [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/contrib/libs/ pkgconfig-0.18]
 * [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/contrib/libs/ popt-1.7]

Note that the links are for the OS/2 versions of the various packages. For other platforms you have to look somewhere else.

== Getting the source ==

The source is available in the netlabs.org SVN repository. All development is done in the trunk atm.

You have to install the subversion client for OS/2. Get it from [http://silk.apana.org.au/subversion/]. Just put the binaries in your path and set your HOME directory in config.sys (you need a home dir anyway for most *nix programs).

 ''SET HOME=x:\my_home_dir''

Create a working directory on your system, cd into it and check out the source. I strongly recommend to put the sources on the same drive your *nix tree is located.

 ''svn co http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/NOM''

This will get all the stuff including everything what's deprecated.
