i thought i had... sorry if i didn't... here's my original post and i'll add
some clarification as well...
i'm looking for someone to port a small application to OS2... i'd prefer
someone with EMX 0.9d fix3 (maybe fix4 now that it is released)... i'm just not
up on my C and the porting issues involved but as this is a small app, i don't
think it'll take much time... once the port is complete, the diffs will be sent
to the originator for inclusion in further releases... makefile, configure
script, and source modifications are all needed, i'm sure... if for nothing
else than to add OS2 to the OS lists in the defines and other areas... by small
package, the original tar.gz is only 37k and the tarball is only ~189k... most
of the package is docs and specs... only like ten or eleven .h and .c files
altogether...
the app is a dynamic dns updater for dynip.com, the static domain name provider
i use... the app is pretty straight forward... it runs all the time and sends
regular messages to the dns server of dynip.com based on their protocol
(included in the docs)... it should be a fairly straight forward port...
nothing fancy that i can see in the code... reading the porting info in EMX
points to a few things that might possibly need to be handled but all straight
forward from what i can see... the main thing holding me back is knowing where
to put in and needed ifdefs for os/2 and adding the os/2 specifics to the make
file... not to mention the inability of running the configure script in the
first place...
