xwphelpers repository on Netlabs, so in addition to the
XWorkplace sources, you will need to check out xwphelpers
as well. The utility is called h2i.exe and gets called
automatically by the makefiles.
gbmsize.exe is on your PATH.
IPFC.EXE).
This thing is part of the OS/2 Developer's Toolkit, which is finally
included with eComStation and the IBM Convenience Packs.
If you don't have the Toolkit, IPFC is contained in the
Device Driver Development Kit (DDK), which IBM has put online at
http://service.boulder.ibm.com/dl/ddk/priv/ddk-d.
You will need to register, but then downloads are free. Download combase.zip,
which has IPFC plus a number of other tools. (Note: I was reportes that apparently
this is now in tools.zip.) After unpacking, IPFC is in the
DDK\base\tools directory, which you should include in your PATH.
The makefiles are only for conveniently updating the target NLS files. If you don't have NMAKE, you can still assemble the files manually. See the following pages for details.
MKMSGF.EXE is no longer needed to compile message files.
