Compiling Wol

This document assumes that you have successfully compiled the Psys libraries. This document also assumes that you have uncompressed and untarred the Wol file, and installed it in the chipmunk directory. Note that Wol has not been ported to OS/2.

Begin by descending to the wol directory. Edit the file Makefile, and make any necessary changes. Comments in the Makefile will guide you through these changes; the changes are labeled with the markers (1), (2), (3), etc. Once these changes are made, execute the command

make install

If things are working correctly, a long series of compilations, linkings, and file movements should occur without error. This will create the program chipmunk/bin/wol.

To do a basic functional test of Wol, execute the following command in the wol directory:

./wol -tSCGA

Two windows should appear, mylib and newcrt. To leave the program, press q. To learn more about using wol, see the user documentation.

If you have problems compiling or using wol, I'd be happy to offer suggestions; press here for more information about asking for help.
