Re: [Freedos-devel] Starting FreeDOS 1.3

Hello Rugxulo, The dependencies needed to build GCC are GMP, GNU MPFR, GNU MPC, and the Integer Set Library (ISL) --- which fetch.sh also downloads. build.sh will build these twice, once for the Ubuntu platform (for stage1), and once for DJGPP (for stage2). I forgot to mention another depen

Re: [Freedos-devel] Starting FreeDOS 1.3

Hello Rugxulo, Please don't feel pressure from me about this, but "build-ia16-20180616-update-20180708.zip" (35 kb) is only some small files, not the full sources. Obviously the rest is on Github. But what exactly do you need to rebuild this? (I probably won't try, just curious anyways.) Ubuntu

Re: [Freedos-devel] Starting FreeDOS 1.3

Hello all, Thank you. I have uploaded some packages for a gcc-ia16 toolchain, at https://github.com/tkchia/build-ia16/releases/tag/20180612-redist-djgpp . The toolchain requires a 32-bit machine to run, but the programs they output will be 16-bit. The current packages do not include some r

Re: [Freedos-devel] Starting FreeDOS 1.3

The plan is to have a new kernel release that supports gcc-i16 along with Open Watcom and others; (using OW for the FreeDOS 1.3 main distribution, [speculating] possibly with DOSEMU updating their FreeDOS archive to include a gcc compiled version if it proves ready). See https://github.com/FDOS/ke

I'd love to see these included in FreeDOS 1.3. I have had this on the Contribute page for a while now: *Create a DOS package of the GNU C Compiler (GCC) that is capable of > creating 16-bit DOS applications (no extender)* That's TK Chia's gcc-ia16 port. O

Are there any thought as to how TK Chia's gcc-i16 port [0] and Bart Oldeman's patches [1][2] might fit into 1.3+ plans? [0] https://github.com/tkchia/gcc-ia16 [1] https://github.com/PerditionC/fdkernel/pull/25 [2] https://github.com/PerditionC/fdkernel/pull/26 On Thu, Jul 12, 2018 at 8:51 AM Je

Re: [Freedos-devel] Starting FreeDOS 1.3

As you said, the programs are GPL, but the game data is not. That's where FreeDOOM came in, for example. So we'd need to do something similar for these games to include them in FreeDOS 1.3, for example. On Thu, Jul 12, 2018, 9:48 AM thraex wrote: > > As far as I know, the source code for Hexen

Hello, *- The install CD should be a Live CD.* The FreeDOS 1.2 install CD is sort of a Live CD. You can exit the install process and drop back to a DOS command line. I think the same, but include a full "Base" FreeDOS runtime. I think FreeDOS Live CD will be ask installation mode or live mod
