Hi! To compile FreeDOS MODE, you need the following:
upx (in any of your PATH directories) nasm (same) tcc (Turbo C 2.01, search in the Borland museum / ask Rugxulo) make (also the old Borland version, I assume) In theory, it is also possible to compile mode with OpenWatcom C, using "wcl" instead of "tcc" by editing the makefile accordingly. However, the makefile says that this has not been tested so far. FreeDOS also has some other MAKE tools around. You could indeed try GNU MAKE which comes with DJGPP. However, you cannot compile MODE using the C compiler of DJGPP itself. You need a compiler which can produce 16bit binaries, such as Turbo C or OpenWatcom. Once you have all ingredients simply run "make" in the directory where the source code is. You can even do without upx, if you comment out that part of the makefile, but then you get larger binaries in the end.
