Unfortunately, yes. It takes very long time. It's the one of the parts where it takes the most of configure time. >> When porting VLC to OS/2, qt4 module needed a very long command line.

It depends on a output type. OS/2 gcc can generate two output type. One is a.out, the other is OMF. When using a.out, ld.exe is used for linkage. In this case, the reloaded objects work well. When using OMF, however, OMF linker does not understand the reloaded objects by ld.exe. In addition, a debug build can be created by OMF only. So if possible, I want to avoid the situation using reloaded objects. -- KO Myung-Hun Using Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.0.11 Under OS/2 Warp 4 for Korean with FixPak #15 On AMD ThunderBird 1GHz with 512 MB RAM Korean OS/2 User Community : http://www.ecomstation.co.kr
