Previously I have used a remote queue manager to cheat at getting AS400 queue manager objects (saveqmgr -r ..). For a change I thought I'd do things properly and experienced some pain along the way, as the readme file with Supportpac MS03 didn't fulfil my needs.

First of all you need a host with the 'ILE C Compiler, 5722WDS option 51' installed to build TMKMAKE. Later on I needed the QSYSINC library, so it's worth checking if you already have this.

Whilst finding out about the compiler I came across this article, which contained a number of commands that weren't in the readme. http://www.mcpressonline.com/mc?50@84.bBtaagtRaNO.0@.214a3151 Section: Building TMKMAKE from Scratch with a C Compiler
CALL PGM(QUSRTOOL/UNPACKAGE) PARM('QATTCL' 1)
CALL PGM(QUSRTOOL/UNPACKAGE) PARM('QATTSYSC' 1)
CALL PGM(QUSRTOOL/UNPACKAGE) PARM('QATTCMD' 1)
CRTLIB TMKMAKE
CRTCLPGM PGM(TMKMAKE/TMKINST) SRCFILE(QUSRTOOL/QATTCL)
CALL PGM(TMKMAKE/TMKINST) PARM(TMKMAKE)

The readme suggested
CRTCLPGM PGM(libr1/TMKINST) SRCFILE(QUSRTOOL/QATTCL)
or
CRTCLMOD MODULE(libr1/TMKINST) SRCFILE(QUSRTOOL/QATTCL)
CRTPGM PGM(libr1/TMKINST) MODULE(libr1/TMKINST)
The first command in the readme is the same as the penultimate in the article, but the second and third (CRTCLMOD/CRTPGM) differ. All these commands were issued whilst getting to the final solution, however the commands from the article may be sufficient on their own - if I do this again I'll find out.

The libraries and files were created and the package ftp'ed, as instructed in the readme.
The following commands were then issued
CRTCLPGM PGM(MS03/QSAVEQMGR) SRCFILE(MS03/QCLSRC) SRCMBR(SAVEQMGR) REPLACE(*YES)
CRTCMD CMD(MS03/QSAVEQMGR) PGM(*LIBL/QSAVEQMGR) SRCFILE(MS03/QCMDSRC) SRCMBR(SAVEQMGR) REPLACE(*YES)
Note: The command in the readme has SRCMBR(QSAVEQMGR), which didn't exist.

The readme then says to enter the command TMKMAKE. This worked fine and I then went on to starting the command server and trying to run my new toy, but got a meaningless error message. This is because TMKMAKE has picked up its default makefile and compiled a load of stuff that has nothing to do with MQ. What you actually need to enter is
TMKMAKE MS03/QMAKSRC
I used F4 to enter the parameters, so it could be something like
TMKMAKE MAKEFILE(MS03/QMAKSRC)

My last problem could be UK related, as the compiler didn't like $ signs in the makefile. These were replaced with Â£ (a lucky guess) and I could finally save the MQ definitions.
