+* Building wxGTK on OS/2
+--------------------------
+
+Please send comments and question about the OS/2 installation
+to Andrea Venturoli <a.ventu@flashnet.it> and patches to
+the wxWindows mailing list.
+
+You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.00FP#6), X-Free86/2 (3.3.3 or newer), 
+Lesstif (0.89.1 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 1), flex (2.5.4),
+yacc (1.8), unix like shell, e.g. korn shell (5.2.13),
+Autoconf (2.13),  GNU file utilities (3.6),
+GNU text utilities (1.3), GNU shell utilites (1.12), m4 (1.4), 
+sed (2.05), grep (2.0), Awk (3.0.3), GNU Make (3.76.1).
+
+Open an OS/2 prompt and switch to the directory above.
+First set some global environment variables we need:
+
+SET CXXFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
+SET CFLAGS=-Zmtd -D__ST_MT_ERRNO__
+SET OSTYPE=OS2X              
+SET COMSPEC=sh
+
+Notice you can choose whatever you want, if you don't like OS2X.
+
+Now, run autoconf in the main directory and in the samples, demos
+and utils subdirectory. This will generate the OS/2 specific
+versions of the configure scripts. Now run
+    configure --with-motif
+as described above.
+
+To verify Lesstif installation, configure will try to compile a
+sample program that requires X headers/libraries to be either
+available via C_INCLUDE_PATH and LIBRARY_PATH or you need to
+explicitly set CFLAGS prior to running configure.
+
+If you have pthreads library installed, it will be autodetected
+and the library will be compiled with thread-support.
+
+Note that configure assumes your flex will generate files named
+"lexyy.c", not "lex.yy.c". If you have a version which does
+generate "lex.yy.c", you need to manually change the generated
+makefile.

-COMPILING USING MAKEFILES
-=========================
-
-- Copy the file include/wx/motif/setup0.h to include/wx/motif/setup.h and
-  edit it if you wish to enable/disable some library features
-
-- Choose a .env file from src/makeenvs that matches your
-  environment, and copy it to src/make.env. These are the
-  settings read by wxWindows for Motif makefiles.
-
-- Edit src/make.env to change options according to your local
-  environment. In particular, change WXDIR to where wxWindows is
-  found on your system, or set the WXWIN environment variable
-  before compilation, e.g.:
-
-    export WXWIN=/home/jacs/wx2
-
-  Please feel free to contribute settings files for your environment.
-
-- Change directory to src/motif and type:
-
-    make -f makefile.unx motif
-
-  This should make the library libwx_motif.a in the lib
-  directory. Note that this makefile system does not build shared
-  libraries, only static ones (that is, the wxWindows library will be
-  linked statically; to see remaining dependencies on shared libraries,
-  type e.g. ldd minimal_motif).
-
-- Make a sample, such as the minimal sample:
-
-    cd samples/minimal
-    make -f makefile.unx motif
-
-  and run the resulting minimal_motif binary.

 Troubleshooting
 ---------------
 

-- If you have trouble compiling the file y_tab.c, or have strange
-  linking errors, check whether you're using a C or C++ compiler for this file.
-  You should specify a C compiler in the CCLEX variable in src/make.env.
-  You could also try using bison and flex instead of yacc and
-  lex.
-

 - Solaris compilation with gcc: if the compiler has problems with the variable argument
   functions, try putting the gcc fixinclude file paths early in the include
   path.
