Eric: Thanks for telling where to find the minimal OW--versions are 1.3 (16bit targets), 1.7a (not downloaded), and 1.8 DOS only--20+ megs (I think-not downloaded). (Also on the page--DJGPP small versions; to kernel builders: IGNORE THESE)
For what it's worth, Borland C++ 5.5 may not be able to build the kernel; it seems to be 32bit only (Win32s supported, HX-compatible, reputedly supports RTM32). Does OW support -1, -2 optimizations (186/286)? Other compilers (unsupported): bcc (prerelease, .COM/ELF output, ...) Desmet C (buggy included libs, bad at optimizing--but 3rd party FOSS optimizer, GPL, we have our own libs for the kernel) MARS C (similar to OW in features, free, but don't know license) Could we include an "ANSI" C binding as a starter for new bindings? Pat et al.: The cd driver issue sounds like it may be a SATA drive (GCDROM/XGCDROM/UIDE(JR) needed): NO IDE/ATAPI drives found (XCDROM fails to load) FDCD001 not found (SHSUCDX finds no drives) How soon is FreeDOS 1.1 coming out? A new boot floppy image would probably fix it, if it includes the right drivers. ?nnnDEVICE=JEMMEX.EXE ?nnDEVICE=UIDEJR.SYS /D:FDCD001 ;If I recall correctly Thank you, Ibidem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
