Welcome to the development home of xworkplace

xworkplace is undoubtedly the universal WPS enhancer no OS/2 - eCS system should miss. xwp add lots of useful features to many parts of your system, while being totally configurable, so that all features you don't like can be turned off.

The official home page ​http://www.xworkplace.org/ unfortunately seems to be not maintained anymore so I decided to write down some information here about the current state of this project emphasizing on the needs of developers who may build xwp and add features.

This page needs some polishing. So if you want to contribute feel free to edit this wiki.

Binaries

Last official release ist v1.0.9. It can be found at the usual places like ​Hobbes or ftp.netlabs.org.

History

Building xworkplace

• check out complete source tree from ​http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/xworkplace/branches/branch-1-0

Bear in mind we do not use the usual svn trunk directory for current versions. In /trunk lives the next version 1.1.

• check out source tree for helpers from ​http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/xwphelpers/branches/branch-1-0
• I think it's not mandatory but you can get some widgets here ​http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/xwpwidgets/trunk. Note there is also a branch

​http://svn.netlabs.org/repos//xwpwidgets/branches/with-usbwidget which seams Ben Rietbroek has created.
