A.2 Configuring - Selecting the proper Makefile for your Compiler

MsgEd TE does not provide a configure skript. It rather provides a set of different makefiles. You “configure” the source code by selecting the makefile of your choice.

The following compilers and target operating systems are supported:

Makefile     | Platform
-------------+-----------------------------------------
makefile.bcd | DOS with Borland C++ 3.1 or Turbo C
makefile.bco | OS/2 with Borland C 2.0
makefile.bcw | Windows 95/NT with Borland C++ 4.0
makefile.djg | DOS/386 with DJGPP GCC 2.7.2
makefile.emo | OS/2 with EMX 0.9c GCC 2.7.2
makefile.ibo | OS/2 with IBM CSET/2 or Visual Age C++
makefile.rxw | 95/NT with RSXNT + EMX GCC 2.7.2
makefile.unx | Any UNIX, BSD or Linux with any compiler
makefile.bsd | FreeBSD with GCC
makefile.lnx | Linux with GCC
makefile.mgw | 95/NT via Mingw32 cpd (running on Unix)

The following makefiles are also provided, but they are not supported, either because I do not have the appropriate compilers or because I cannot give support for some special features they are using. I try to update these makefiles along with the others, but I cannot make any promises.

Makefile     | Platform
-------------+----------------------------------------------
makefile.hco | OS/2 with Metware High C
makefile.qcd | DOS with MS Quick C
makefile.wcd | DOS with Watcom C
makefile.wcw | NT with Watcom C
makefile.wco | OS/2 with Watcom C
makefile.wcx | DOS/386 with Watcom C

There is also a file which is simply named Makefile. This file is for building using a huskymak.cfg environment, and will not be described in this manual.
