Hi, I did a build of OW 2.0 (it was rebranded) but nothing else was changed at this point. It turns out the best way to build it was on Windows. I tried Linux and failed and the path was too deep for MS-DOS to be used for building. > On Jan 18, 2018, at 1:18 AM, Rugxulo

Hi, AFAIK no one on this project is interested in building a C compiler from scratch for the purposes of developing FreeDOS. DJGPP can’t reliably generate code for all the DOS modes which rules it out, MSC and the Borland compilers. Pacific C is free but we only have access to the binary

Hi, I’m going to address all the emails at once instead of replying to multiple emails so it will be pretty easy to follow (I think). Jerome, it initially looks like that because I haven’t had the time to devote to fully building this idea out. Also, due to the amount of things involved in

Hi Tony I appreciate the effort, but I'm not sure I like the optics of re-branding another project's work as "FreeDOS." That will seem like we're trying to grab someone else's stuff and claim it as our own - which we're not. We've rarely branded anything "FreeDOS" except for a few core things.

Hello, Not sure I like renaming someone else’s tools and slapping the FreeDOS name on them. You really need to ask Jim Hall if he is fine with you using the FreeDOS name this way. Putting that issue aside for the moment, what is the advantage of this toolchain? You said you spent over a

Hi all and Happy New Year, I sent a screen shot, not knowing that there was a size limit on the emails, so I’m resending as a text only message. I have been working on a project for FreeDOS for well over year and I think it’s about ready for prime time. I thought it would be cool if there was
