What aproach would you suggest?
The obvious choices are all based upon similar GNU tools: 1). FreeBASIC (which has partial lang QB compatibility among better FBLITE and FB dialects) * https://sourceforge.net/projects/fbc/files/ * https://freebasic.net/forum/ * http://games.freebasic.net/ 2). Free Pascal (which has almost full mode TP compatibility, plus obligatory newer Delphi) * https://www.freepascal.org/ * https://www.lazarus-ide.org/ 3). DJGPP (standard C and C++), Allegro 4.x is old but still works * http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ * http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/getting.html * https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.os.msdos.djgpp * https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/releases (N.B. MinGW-hosted cross-GCC 7.2.0 standalone) * https://liballeg.org/ * https://www.allegro.cc/ I wish it was simpler, but things are quite a mess! Quite fractured, lots of legacy (abandoned) code, some things may not fully work without some elbow grease, etc. Still, it can be quite fun and rewarding! Good luck! _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
