Building sitecopy for OS/2 / eComStation
========================================

Building sitecopy on OS/2 is easy using the usual tools
for building unix-like-open-source-apps and GCC Version 3.3.5

You get the compiler at: ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc

For compiling sitecopy version 0.16.3 (which was the latest
version available at the moment I wrote these lines) I used gcc335csd1

Only thing special was, that my CONFIG_SITE needed this line:

 AR=G:/Dev/gcc/335csd1/usr/bin/ar.exe

 ('AR=ar.exe' did not work allthough ar.exe was in my PATH)

After this building was just:

 sh configure --prefix=/usr
 make
 make install

To make life easier for OS/2 users it's useful
to include the docs also in html format.

You can convert the man file to html with

 man sitecopy | man2html.cmd > sitecopy.html

man2thml.cmd is a copy of the standard perlscript man2hml.
You only have to replace the first line

 #!/usr/local/bin/perl

with

 extproc perl -S

The ported sitecopy was successfully tested on eComStation / OS/2
with FTP-sites. I have no idea whether WebDAV works or not.

The compiled version of 0.16.3 is available at:
