Dear all,
As an academic exercise (and with the help of Arca Noae and bww bitwise works
GmbH support) I have installed ArcaOS in a VM and made friends with it. I can
run rexx scripts using classic rexx and object Rexx, all is there to use. Rony
reminded me how to switch between the two.
A benchmark show that Object Rexx is about 40% faster than classic Rexx
----- REXXCPS 2.1 -- Measuring REXX clauses/second -----
REXX version is: REXXSAA 4.00 3 Feb 1999
System is: OS/2
Averaging: 100 measures of 100 iterations
Total (full DO): 0.0147 secs (average of 100 measures of 100 iterations)
Time for one iteration (1000 clauses) was: 0.000147 seconds
Performance: 6802721 REXX clauses per second
[C:\workspace]switchrx
This program will now replace the current Classic REXX interpreter of OS/2
with the Object REXX interpreter.
Enter 'Y' to continue, any other input will cancel this procedure.
Y
Preparations complete. The Object REXX interpreter will be activated after
the next reboot.
<REBOOT>

----- REXXCPS 2.1 -- Measuring REXX clauses/second -----
REXX version is: OBJREXX 6.00 18 May 1999
System is: OS/2
Averaging: 100 measures of 100 iterations
Total (full DO): 0.0107 secs (average of 100 measures of 100 iterations)
Time for one iteration (1000 clauses) was: 0.000107 seconds
Performance: 9345794 REXX clauses per second
Once I had made some initial tests I set out to get hold of the toolchain for
building ooRexx. With some help this was indeed possible:
Summary of toolchain for building ooRexx on ArcaOS (OS/2)

Then I could download the source for ooRexx
svn co svn://svn.code.sf.net/p/oorexx/code-0/main/trunk oorexxSVN
But that was the end of the good news :-) Trying to build ooRexx failed, as
expected I suppose:

I have left all the data generated by Cmake in my dropbox
<https://www.dropbox.com/sh/p66c7g01h4jz5ss/AAAZd_Q2yQddrTHagxPo_UiTa?dl=0>
under the heading OS2Builds if someone wants to have a look. Maybe Rick or
Erich can give a list of what is missing to start with, if it is at all
possible? It would help estimating the time&effort to setup ooRexx on OS/2.
Hälsningar/Regards/Grüsse,
