How to build - Newbie
Hello!

I have trouble building PadWalker. I am using the Open Watcom compiler and linker and it does apparently not recognize the command line options. I am using Microsoft's nmake utility as the one from Open Watcom does not read the makefile correctly.

Alternatively is there any way to get a binary distro ?

Here is the execution log :
