kLIBC Config module and Pathrewrite.
A note about the future of ecsoft2.org
ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.
Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.
If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggamba
tiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.
If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.
Self-installing WarpIN package. See below for download link(s).
Following ones are the download links for manual installation:
| eComStation kLIBC Pathrewriter (ex KLIBC Config) (Release 2, 31/10/2024, Lars Erdmann) | Readme/What's new |
UNIX path rewriting supports apps ported from UNIX to rewrite UNIX style paths to something that OS/2 can understand. Requires libc to be installed. Replaces the original klibccfg package.
------------------------------
This will install the Path Rewriter configuration object (optional) and the Path Rewriter HOOK DLL (mandatory).
The Path Rewriter HOOK DLL (and its accompanying configuration object) provide support for applications ported from UNIX to have their UNIX type path naming changed to something that OS/2 understands. That will allow these UNIX ports to successfully open and access files.
The hook DLL will properly support forked processes (search for UNIX "fork()" in the internet), fixing a long standing bug in the original implementation of the klibccfg hook support.
Note: if you are using ArcaOS, you do not need to install this package as ArcaOS already contains the same functionality.
This package also contains the sources for the hook DLL in case you want to rebuild or modify. Please note that it is essential that you build the hook DLL with gcc only (other compilers will not work). |
