Wow, does anybody actually install OS/2 on a FAT filesystem? In all my
years of using OS/2, I've only ever come across OS/2 on HPFS, and in
eComStation it defaults to JFS. But I get that it is a faint
possibility. Thanks for clearing that up.

I wasn't doing cross-compilation. I have a build script for fpGUI that
creates the unit output path (seeing that FPC doesn't create paths at
compile time), then I compile the framework using that path.

eg: here is my Linux version of such a build script.

========================
fpcbin=fpc
fpctarget=`$fpcbin -iTP`-`$fpcbin -iTO`
#echo $fpctarget
libpath='../lib/'$fpctarget

# Must we create the output directory?
if [ ! -d $libpath ]; then
  echo 'creating directory: '$libpath
  mkdir $libpath
  echo ' '
fi

# Default build
$fpcbin -dX11 @extrafpc.cfg corelib/x11/fpgui_toolkit.pas
========================

But no worries, it isn't hard modifying my build.cmd and extrafpc.cfg to
adjust for this.


@Tomas:
As you are the only regular FPC OS/2 user here that I know of, and if
you haven't deduced it yet... fpGUI Toolkit will soon add OS/2 as one of
the officially supported platforms. :)
