Compiling for OS/2
Jay Herrick
My company develops almost exclusively in the Microsoft Dev Studio
environment. We have the need to port a small dll to OS/2 for one of
our clients. Is there any way I can use VC5.0 to do this or do we
have to go out and buy a different compiler that supports OS/2.
Hope someone can answer.

P.S. we are running the full enterprise edition of visual studio
Tomas Restrepo
in NT (for the Alpha version) and I believe there's a crosscompiler for the
Mac. That's all there is.
This means you'll have to get another compiler for OS/2 (maybe IBM's Visual
Age?)

I believe Watcom's compiler could target OS/2. Is it still on the market?

doing their best to kill any platform superior to their own, which gives them
plenty of choices, including OS/2.
Your best commercial bet would be Watcom. They have an excellent compiler
which targets both OS/2 and Win32.
Your best overall bet would be gcc. That would allow you to target OS/2, Win32
and various other platforms; it's not in any danger of going away, support
(user-word-of-mouth or paid) is readily available, and it's one less dependency
on the Microslut (from whom Watcom and every other commercial compiler has to
license their tools).
