= Welcome to the NOSA SVN archive =

This is the open source of the the netlabs.org Open Source Archive Client/Administrator (NOSA). While this package supports the usage of the older Concurrent Versioning System (CVS), the archive hosting the source code for it uses Subversion.

After checkout, execute 
 * '''readme''' to launch the online help for the NOSA Build System
 * '''readme Prerequisites''' to get information about required programs.
 * '''nmake''' with no taget to get instructions for building the NOSA product

Whenever '''nmake''' is executed, the build system searches for all required programs, using the list of required programs like defined in the soure, within the file [http://svn.netlabs.org/nosa/browser/trunk/bin/required.cmd required.cmd]. The following applies:
 * currently the only supported compilers are IBM Visual Age V3.08 or V3.65.
 * the Developers Toolkit for eComStation (including the IPF compiler) can be installed from the eComStation Installation CD
 * the WarpIN compiler is already installed with eComStation
 * all other utilities required can be found on the [http://hobbes.nmsu.edu Hobbes OS/2 Archive]

To make the executables of WarpIN available for building NOSA in a command session, you can 
 * use the script in [ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/nosa/warpin_env.zip warpin_env.zip] to set the enviroment for WarpIN in a command session
 * add the WarpIN directory to the PATH and (BEGIN|END)LIBPATH statements 
  * in a command window or fullscreen, before executing '''nmake'''
  * in the ?:\CONFIG.SYS file and reboot
