I've only scratched the surface of reading the manual (which is 400+ pages). > I've only done a quick "hello world" test, but it looks like it works **if > you stay in the same directory.** The manual implies that it can also find auxiliary binaries (ASM88, GEN) in your %PATH%. > Doing "c88 -I <folder>" didn't seem to work. You can set %DSINC% or %INCLUDE% as well. BTW, it seems options come after the filename, e.g. "C88 myfile.c -Ic:\whatever\" (with mandatory backslash). So you have to use "-b" (and BBIND) for Large model. (Not to mention a bunch of other utils and separate libs [*.S] for software and hardware floating point.) > Anyway, here's desmet c with a tiny install (just the programs), a complete > install (with sources etc) and the 10 meg pdf manual: > > May work, may not ...but at least it should be easier to test! The main question is how much is bootstrappable. Do we also need MASM for anything? Can the libs and utils be reliably rebuilt, byte-exact, to their existing versions? And we should probably focus on "latest" 3.1N with as many ANSI headers as are available (11?). So, for the main binaries: C88, ASM88, GEN, BIND and BBIND, LIB88 (but ignore D88, SEE, TOOBJ, PCMAKE, LATER, MERGE, etc. for now). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, Slashdot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
