Re: Crosscompiling to OS/2 ?

Thanks to everyone that replied! The response was so overwhelming..OS2
doesn't seem so dead after all ;-).
OK what I need EMX, and there's also a pgcc for OS2, but it is not
supported as a target (I want to crosscompile from FreeBSD).

Someone in the OS/2 lists suggested that cygnus was "married" with
Micro$oft nowadays; a real shame considering OS2 is much more
interesting: there's even is an XFree86 implementation.

It's also curious that the three PC-non-UNIX platforms (DOS/win32/os2)
don't seem to share much code in common, I would've suspected they could
help each other...

thanks to everyone that replied,
