A follow-up: I installed the new cygwin setup from the internet. This was for a Windows system. The last step crashed where it says creat icon and add to start menu. Is that critical? Happens when I install prc-tools as well.
Also, in the older version that I used to use (b20 and original prc- tools20), I had to modify some files in the compiler/linker (I think; memory is a bit fuzzy) that change something to allow larger than 32K code segment. I also had to change the link order somewhere (don't remember). This put crt0 file in a different order. Are these changes still necessary for multi-segment applications? Or is multi-segment applications even necessary anymore to bypass the 32K code limit. Then I had to add a lot of SEGMENT difinitiions to a def file, yadda, yadda, yadda... anyway Is this SEGMENT definition still the way to do multi-segment applications using the prc-tools? Anyway, my original problem was that I had an application that was larger than 32k and I had to go through all of these changes to allow the app to compile and link. I'm left with source that has all these SEGMENT definitions in it. I realize that I got an answer to not use b20, make sure I use make and that the sources complile fine. But I know they compile. My problem is with linking the multiple segments in my old source. Is multi-segmented applications still necessary to bypass the 32K limit? Are the SEGMENT definitions still required? After cygwin is installed, do I have to go in and manually edit any of the files as I did in b20?
