OS/2 Unix Ports

23Apr2004: Unix-OS/2 FAQ

From: John Poltorak [jp@warpix.org] and Knut Stange Osmundsen [bird@anduin.net]
With the idea of putting together some sort of FAQ, I thought it would be useful to compile a list of sources of info for building and using Unix apps on OS/2. Unfortunately a lot of good sources are badly out of date and need updating. However they are still useful to have.

Here are some which come to mind:-

Installing EMX: http://www.edm2.com/0101/emx.html
Timur Tabi's Programming Links: http://www.edm2.com/common/links.html
The un*x to OS/2-EMX Porting FAQ: http://homepages.tu-darmstadt.de/~st002279/os2/html/porting.html
Towards an UNIX/POSIX to emx-OS/2 Porting Guide: http://posix2.sourceforge.net/guide.html
The Posix/2 project has its homepage here: http://posix2.sourceforge.net/

Since we are hoping to comply with certain Unix standards, I think it is important to check out FHS:-

Filesystem Hierarchy Standard: http://www.pathname.com/fhs/
There is also The Single UNIX Specification (SUS) website - parts of Version 2 are available here: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/
There is a 2003 edition of SUS: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/
