Subject: Compiling on OS/2

I have been trying for a while to make the server compile under OS/2 2.1.
I have a unix emulation package, and GCC 2.3.3 with all the tools I can ftp.
The problem is, the only version of sh I can find won't run the configure
file properly. It gets just past "checking for sqrt" then stops with the
error: "Input line too long."  I'm not a shell-script guru by any stretch of
the imagination, and I've done the only thing I can think of, check for 
unreasonably long text lines in the file. I didn't find any, and I'll bet it
means something significantly more cryptic than that anyway.

Anyhow, if anyone can think of anything that would help me in this respect,
I would really appreciate it.. (IE, what am I looking for to fix in the 
script, CAN I fix the script, is it just a shoddy version of sh? If it is, 
is there any way I could build the makefile, or even compile the server (ick,
ick) Manually?)

Thanks,
====Rob, Gelfin@a MOO or three.

You can do the configuration stuff manually.  First, copy `raw_config.h.in' to
`raw_config.h' and use the comments in that file to change the appropriate
`#undef' directives into `#define's to reflect the realities of your system.
Then copy `Makefile.in' to `Makefile' and fix the three variable definitions at
the very top to properly identify your C compiler, any extra libraries that
might be necessary, and your YACC equivalent.

Given this, you should be able to `make' and get a lot further.  If you
succeed, please send me the two files you edited and I'll try to fold something
like them into the release.
