    77The original author, Thorsten Thielen, wrote Gotcha! mainly because all other screen capture programs for OS/2 that he found at the time were either quite outdated, part of another (usually large) program, buggy, and/or not free.

    92 Coming soon!
     90Gotcha! and Gotcha! Quiet are now built with Open Watcom. You will need Open Watcom C/C++ 2.0 beta 3 or higher.

     92
     93You can build it with older versions of the OW compiler but will need to change the makefiles to use RC.EXE and IPFC.EXE from the OS2 toolkit
     94in place of WRC.EXE and WIPFC.EXE. In order to build the Italian and Brazilian Portuguese help files you need to copy IPFITA.NLS and IPFPTB.NLS
     95from the IPFC directory in the OS2 Toolkit to the Watcom\wipfc directory and then rename them it_IT.nls and pt_BR.nls. Otherwise you need to use
     96IPFC.EXE to build these help files.
     97
     98You also need SED.EXE, LXLITE.EXE, PERL.EXE and the exceptq developer's package.
     99These are available from the netlabs RPM repository. Use ANPM to install them.
     100
     101The setup cmds setgot.cmd and setgoq.cmd require the 4OS2 shell. You need to do a complete rebuild (wmake -a) after changing from building Gotcha
     102to Quiet or changing from Quiet to Gotcha Wmake clean followed by wmake also works.
     103
     104I use PMPrintf for debugging but it isn't necessary to build these.

     107Gotcha! was originally developed under OS/2 using emx/gcc 0.9d and dmake 4.0.  If you want to recompile the program, take a look at the Makefile and adjust the settings (probably only the "I" macro that tells where you keep your include files) and then just run dmake. The emx makefiles are still in the SVN but have not been tested with the version 2.00 changes.
