    The backslashes in the file name seem to be interpreted as escape characters and not as the directory/file name seperator.

    Is this on a linux system?

    no its on os2 or ArcaOs as it were... How or where can I get rid of the slashes? in hpt config the directories are correct, they exist etc.

    Try a double slash \\ where you now have single slashes \ in your config file...

    Yeah that is what I first tried but them HPT complains about the \\... I need to find someone with a working config on os2 I think... I am probably missing something simple.

    Have you tried putting the path names between quotes? Or specify them in the linux way with / as directory seperator? Maybe husky does an auto convert for those to OS2 directory seperators?

    This is a klibc problem which can be "fixed" by setting UNIXROOT to a non-existing path.

    The better solution is to use watcom build of hpt or not to use arcmail at all.

    I have set unixroot in my toss.cmd , I have your watcom exe problem still exists, I will post my config.

    Looks like a seperator problem.


    II.1.1 Overview

    This is the standard way of compiling Husky source code on Unix-style
    operating systems. It will also work on OS/2 if you have the EMX compiler and
    a more or less complete chain of GNU tools installed. [...]

    If you compile Husky in this way, the default path of the configuration file and other specialties will be compiled into your executables based onto your individual needs, and shared libraries will be used if possible to decrease hard disk space requirements and improve flexibility.


    In my old OS/2 configs i have c:\dir\cfg pathnames. I don't know if letterless is supported but with external tools you have interfaces into other software that may not be able to handle mixed or incomplete path names.

    I have set unixroot in my toss.cmd

    I'm not on latest source but once there was a DIRSEP definition in huskymak.cfg.

    For initial installations i recommend static builds. More diskspace usage, more memory usage, but easy transferable to other VMs.

    Regards

    Kai
