Hi all,
Can anyone recommend a good C compiler for DOS?
Turbo C 2.01 (gratis, very good software) and OpenWatcom (open-source,
tend to produce heavier binaries than OW, but comes with a more complete
libc).
* I would like to be able to cross-compile from a Linux machine, but
without having to install a complex cross-compilation environment -
meaning the two options I can think of are running a Linux platform
cross-compiler from within a Docker container, or running a native
DOS compiler from within a virtual environment like QEMU.
Use DOSEMU. You get a little "DOS in a window" that sees your native
Linux files. No need to copy source files back and forth - write them
with your usual Linux IDE/notepad, compile and test in the DOSEMU window.
Do they all target protected mode architectures
now or do they still support 8086-compatible real mode?
Both TC and OW produce 8086 code (OW needs the extra -0 argument for that).
