- implemented CRT and SYSUTILS
- nwimp/convertimp to convert .imp files to unix
2001/05/26 armin:
- successfuly compiled binutils for win32 under linux. Patched nlmconv
for win32 available. This makes it possible to use FPC to create NLM's
unter win32.

Currently generating NetWare-NLM's only work under Linux. (may be under bsd also)
This is because nlmconv from binutils does not work with i.e. win32 coff object files.
This is because nlmconv from binutils does not work with i.e. win32 coff object files.
It works fine with ELF-Objects.
Binutils with netware-support needed
====================================
You need a version of binutils compiled with netware-support. (nlmconv has to be present)
Unfortunately in the Linux distibutions this component of the binutils is not included
so you have to compile it. So download the latest stable binutils package from your
favourite GNU mirror, decompress it ('tar xfz binutils-x.yy.z.tar.gz' on unices
with GNU tar), change to the binutils-x.yy.z directory and configure:

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-targets=i386-netware,i386-linux
I used the prefix /usr because thats the default location on redhat (thats what I'm using)
and use
make
make
make install
to build and install binutils. To check that netware is supported by the version of binutils
installed, use ld --version. The emulation 'i386nw' must be present. Also check that nlmconv
is present and can be started without specifying the complete path of nlmconv.

Building the freepascal runtime-library for netware
===================================================
Install the current fpc sources from ftp.freepascal.org and change to the directory
rtl/netware under the freepascal sourcetree. Verify the path of your units in
Install the current fpc sources from ftp.freepascal.org and change to the directory
rtl/netware under the freepascal sourcetree. Verify the path of your units in
Makefile. The default is /usr/lib/fpc/1.1/units/netware/rtl.
Compile and install the rtl with
make install
on win32 you can use the script compile.cmd. You need to adjust the
destination directory in the script.
Settings and needed files to compile for netware
================================================
Edit your /etc/ppc386.cfg and add the rtl source path for netware. This are my settings,
you may paste it to your ppc386.cfg:
#IFDEF Netware
-Fu/usr/lib/fpc/1.1/units/netware/rtl
-Fl/usr/lib/fpc/1.1/units/netware/rtl
#ENDIF
This adds the search path for the rtl-units as well as for the needed import-files.
You can use the import files from the rtl/netware directory, they are automaticly
installed. If you want to use import files from novell, be aware that you have to
convert the files to unix format (i.e. with dos2unix).
Building the first nlm
======================
Ok, now you have installed all needed files, try the following program and compile it
with
ppc386 -Tnetware hello.pas
PROGRAM Hello;
{$Description The FreePascal HelloWorld for Netware}
{$Version 1.0.0}
{$Copyright Copyright (c) 2001 The FreePascal Development Team}
{$Screenname The Pascal Hello World for Netware}
BEGIN
WriteLn ('This is open source ! FreePascal for netware');
END.
Hints on using freepascal for nlm's
===================================
- Compiler Switches
-----------------
- Compiler Switches for Netware
-----------------------------
The following compiler-swiches are supported for NetWare:
$DESCRIPTION : NLM-Description, will be displayed at load-time
$M : For Stack-Size. Heap-Size will be ignored
$VERSION x.x.x : Sets Major, Minor and Revision, Revision 0 is nothing, 1=a, 2=b ...
$COPYRIGHT : Sets Copyright, needs a patched nlmconv, patch is
available at the location for binutils-win32 shown
above.
$SCREENNAME : Sets the screen-name (i.e. shown in ctrl-esc screen)
$THREADNAME : Sets the thread name (dont use names that are to long
for netware, that will prevent your nlm from loading)
Sorry, Displaying copyright does not work with nlmconv from gnu bunutils. There is a patch
available for nlmconv but currently there is no compiler switch in fpc. Implementing the
compiler switch is on my todo list. This is also valid for the screen-name.

searching import files via the specified library path (-Fl). If you plan to use
import files from novell be aware that they have to be converted from CR/LF to

If a module name is specified in an import, the module is automaticly
If a module name is specified in an import, the module is automaticly
declared as autoload by FreePascal.
I.e. the following declaration needs nlmlib.imp and sets nlmlib.nlm as autoload:
FUNCTION rmdir (path : PCHAR) : LONGINT; CDECL; EXTERNAL 'nlmlib.nlm' NAME 'rmdir';
while the following declaration only imports the symbol without autoloading:
FUNCTION rmdir (path : PCHAR) : LONGINT; CDECL; EXTERNAL;
FUNCTION rmdir (path : PCHAR) : LONGINT; CDECL; EXTERNAL;
If nlmlib.nlm is not loaded while loading yout nlm, you will get an error abount

unknown symbols.
- Debugging
---------
Thats currently a problem. There is no source level debugger available. The only way
to debug is using the netware internal debugger or nwdbg. nwdbg is a debugger on
assembler level written by Jan Beulich. Symbols are supported. You can get nwdbg for
netware 4.11,5.0 or 5.1 at developer.novell.com.
I read about plans to adapt gdb to current netware versions. As soon as i have news
about gdb i will change this document.
- Netware SDK
-----------
Delphi declarations for the multiplattform api is available at
http://developer.novell.com. You can download the sdk after registering as a developer.
The files are designed for win32 so they will not work off the box. I think changing
the dll-name to the corrosponding nlm-name will work.

i.e. in calwin32.imp the following declaration:
function NWAbortServicingQueueJob2; StdCall; external 'calwin32.dll' index 231;
has to be changed to
function NWAbortServicingQueueJob2; CDecl; external 'calwin32.nlm';
