Building 4.2 under Mac OS X (Open Watcom)

Post by penx »

Hi, I'm trying to fix an open issue in the Mac OS X build (ticket 8437).

Unfortunately I can't get past ./configure as it complains that Open Watcom is not installed.

It seems that Open Watcom has not been ported to Mac OS X - what is this needed for?

Am I going to need to figure out how to build Open Watcom under Mac OS X, or is there an alternative?

AFAIK openWatcom is not a fatal requirements, your configure shoud still pass (that's how I do it under Linux per example). If you would attach in a zip file the output of configure, we could see what's wrong exactly.
