Hi! It is said on: https://www.freedos.org/contribute/ that:

"Port FreeDOS utilities to OpenWatcom C and NASM—our preferred C compiler and 
Assembler for FreeDOS."



I kind of just discovered the OpenWatcom C,C++ compiler yesterday, and just was 
able to compile and link my first program this morning.



Since it was a little harder than other compilers, I would like to show how I 
did here, for others (and maybe me later).

I might be missing some important options... but part of my problems was that I 
was seeing tons of options, but the essential was hard to see.



I am using FreeDOS 1.3-rc3.



Launch "FDIMPLES", that allows you to install packages from a list (taken from 
a CDROM I think).



Select "Development", tab, select "OW", tab, tab, Ok should be selected, Enter.

I let you get out of it after install.



CD \DEVEL\OW

owsetenv.bat

I found it, while writing this (was explaining how I created a similar file).

For me it write: Environment PATH not set. But it does set it.



mkdir c:\myc

c:

cd \myc

edit test.c

in it:

---

#include <stdio.h>

int void main(){

  printf("Hi! Hello from Open Watcom 1.9!\n");

  return 0;

}

---

wpp test.c

wlink FILE test.obj

test.exe
