There are two different versions available. GNU C/C++ 2.1 is available for OS/2 2.0. It generates native 32 bit OS/2 object files, and uses the standard system linker. It is a "true" port of gcc to OS/2, but does not interact with DOS at all. emx/gcc, also (I believe) based on gcc 2.1, produces executable that work either in DOS or OS/2 2.0. It comes with the emx DOS extender that you have to use for DOS, and EMX.DLL that you have to use with OS/2. As I understand it, emx pretends to operate in a Unix environment (using the extender or DLL), and is therefore incompatible with everything else. It comes with gdb. -- Barr3y Jaspan, bjaspan@mit.edu
