-You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.00FP#6), X-Free86/2 (3.3.3 or newer),
-GTK+ (1.2.5 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 1), flex (2.5.4), yacc (1.8),
-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).
+In the following list, the version numbers indicate the configuration that
+was actually used by myself, newer version should cause no problems and
+even older ones are expected to work most of the time.

 
 

-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.
+You'll need OS/2 Warp (4.51) or eCS(1.0), X-Free86/2 (3.3.6 or newer),
+GTK+ (1.2.5 or newer), emx (0.9d fix 4), flex (2.5.4), yacc (1.8) or
+bison (1.25), a Unix like shell (pdksh-5.2.14 or ash), Autoconf (2.57),
+GNU file utilities (3.13), GNU text utilities (1.19),
+GNU shell utilites (1.12), m4 (1.4), sed (2.05), grep (2.0), Awk (3.0.3),
+GNU Make (3.75).

 
 

-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-gtk
-as described above.
+Preferably, you should have Posix/2 installed and C(PLUS)_INCLUDE_PATH and
+LIBRARY_PATH set up accordingly, however, wxGTK will even work without it.
+Presence of Posix/2 will be auto-detected.

 
 

-If you have pthreads library installed, but have a gtk version
-which does not yet support threading, you need to explicitly
-disable threading by using the option --disable-threads.
-
-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.
+Open an OS/2 prompt and switch to the directory above.
+Set MAKESHELL (and depending on your installation also INSTALL, for me
+it tends to try to use the system's tcpip\pcomos\install.exe which causes
+problems...) to a Unix like shell, e.g.
+SET MAKESHELL=ash
+
+Be warned that depending on the precise version of your make, the
+variable that needs to be set might be MAKE_SHELL instead of MAKESHELL.
+If you have a really deficient version of GNU make, it might even be
+necessary to set SHELL or even COMSPEC to a unix like shell as well. 
+
+Notice that the delivered configure scripts are fully OS/2 aware, so you
+can simply run
+    ash -c "configure --with-gtk"
+and make and possibly make install as described above.
