Software Requirements

There are software requirements for both the victim machine where the programs are debugged and run and the host machine where the debugger runs.

To set up the victim OS/2 machine:

• Obtain or build an OS2KRNLD that has the debugger packet-handling code. This code is now part of the regular KDB builds.
  
• OS2KRNL is in the root directory of the victim system's boot drive but is hidden. Use the following command to make it visible:

     attrib -r -s -h os2krnl
  

  Use the following commands to back up the file and replace it with its debug equivalent:

     copy os2krnl  os2krnl.bak
     copy os2krnld os2krnl
  

To set up the host OS/2 machine:

• Unzip the ICATMERL.ZIP file into the directory where you want to run the debugger. This file contains the debugger, the victim sample binaries, and the original source files. 2.
  Set the environment variables. Refer to Setting Environment Variables for more information.
