Problem: The OS/2 code pollutes the source while nobody uses it these days. Solution: Drop the support for OS/2.

=======
|
||||
|
||||
Summary:
|
||||
ren Makefile Makefile.unix
|
||||
ren makefile.os2 Makefile
|
||||
make
|
||||
|
||||
This port of Vim to OS/2 is based on the emx environment together
|
||||
with GNU C. The main design goal of emx is to simplify porting Unix
|
||||
software to OS/2 and DOS. Because of this, almost all the Unix defines
|
||||
etc. already existing in the Vim source code could be reused. Only where
|
||||
OS/2 specifics came into play were additional changes necessary. Those
|
||||
places can be found by searching for "OS2" and "__EMX__" (I've tried to
|
||||
keep emx-specific things separate from generic OS/2 stuff).
|
||||
|
||||
Note: This OS/2 port works well for me and an additional OS/2 user on
|
||||
the Vim development team (Karsten Sievert); however, since I
|
||||
haven't had any other feedback from other people, that either
|
||||
means no (OS/2-specific) bugs exist, or no one has yet created
|
||||
a situation in which any bugs are apparent.

||||
Report any problems or other comments to paul@wau.mis.ah.nl
|

(email valid up to at least September 1996, after that try
|
||||
paul@wurtel.hobby.nl, paul@murphy.nl, or paulS@toecompst.nl).
|
||||
Textmode/notextmode and binary mode both seem to work well.
|
||||
|
||||
Prerequisites:
|
||||
- To compile, you need the emx environment (at least rev. 0.9b), GCC,
|
||||
some make utility (GNU make works fine). These are generally
|
||||
available as (ask Archie about them):
|
||||
emxrt.zip emx runtime package
|
||||
emxdev.zip emx development system (without compiler)
|
||||
GNU programs compiled for emx, patches and patched sources:
|
||||
gnudev1.zip GNU development tools compiled for emx (part 1)
|
||||
gnudev2.zip GNU development tools compiled for emx (part 2)
|
||||
gnumake.zip GNU make
|
||||
- Don't set a TERM environment variable; Vim defaults to os2ansi
|
||||
which is available as a builtin termcap entry. Using other values
|
||||
may give problems! (OS/2 ANSI emulation is quite limited.) If you
|
||||
need to set TERM for other programs, you may consider putting
|
||||
set term=os2ansi in the vimrc file.
|
||||
|
||||
Check ../runtime/doc/os_os2.txt for additional info on running Vim.

||||
OS/2 support was removed in patch 7.4.1008
