Based on my other email about getting IA-16 GCC to work on T2404
without installing DJGPP, I propose adding a new package in T2405
called I16ENV that just has two files in it:
/devel/i16gnu/djgpp.env
/devel/i16gnu/setenv.bat
The DJGPP.ENV file contains just:
DJDIR=
And the SETENV.BAT file sets the PATH and points the DJGPP environment
variable to the DJGPP.ENV file, like this:
@ECHO OFF
PATH %PATH%;C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\BIN
SET DJGPP=C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\DJGPP.ENV
Since it gets installed in the IA-16 GCC directory, it shouldn't get
confused with the DJGPP stuff. If the DJGPP env file is called
DJGPP.ENV, it will make more sense when people find references to
"DJGPP.ENV" in other documentation. And because the package will be
named similarly to the other IA-16 GCC packages, users will be more
likely to install it when they install IA-16 GCC. But because we
aren't updating any original IA-16 GCC packages, it keeps things clean
at the expense of a little extra "overhead" for the package. But if
you're installing a C compiler, you likely can spare the tiny extra
space.
This will be a good way for others to start testing compiling programs
using IA-16 GCC in a working default configuration on a fresh install,
starting with the next test release.
This works on my T2404 installation. Here is a copy/paste of my
FreeDOS session after a fresh reboot (using unmodified FDAUTO.BAT):
C:\DEVEL>dir /b
I16GNU
WATCOMC
C:\DEVEL>cd i16gnu
C:\DEVEL\I16GNU>dir /b
BIN
IA16-ELF
LIB
LIBEXEC
SHARE
DJGPP.ENV
SETENV.BAT
C:\DEVEL\I16GNU>type setenv.bat
@ECHO OFF
PATH %PATH%;C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\BIN
SET DJGPP=C:\DEVEL\I16GNU\DJGPP.ENV
C:\DEVEL\I16GNU>type DJGPP.ENV
DJDIR=
C:\DEVEL\I16GNU>setenv.bat
.. now I'll switch to the D: drive to compile a program ..
D:\SRC>dir /b hello.*
HELLO.C
D:\SRC>type hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
puts("Hello world");
return 0;
}
D:\SRC>i16gcc -Wall -o hello.exe hello.c
D:\SRC>dir /b hello.*
HELLO.C
HELLO.EXE
D:\SRC>hello.exe
Hello world
