[Freedos-user] Compile mode.com
Hello all, as I am trying to get a working serial port emulation under DOSEMU I would like to use the freedos version of mode.com . I need to remove the if clause that checks whether the serial port number is invalid (1 or 4) as I'd like to configure COM5. I found the code in mode.c and changed it but I don't know how to recompile. Makefile said something about nasm so I installed nasm on a virtual DOS machine and did nasm makefile but there were a few errors saying error: label or instruction expected at start of line. Seems like these lines were comments. Does anyone know what to do? Thanks, Hans -- Rapidly troubleshoot problems before they affect your business.

Re: [Freedos-user] Compile mode.com
Hi Dennis, thanks for explanation. I also had a compiler called djgpp installed but it seems like that isn't what I need either? Can you tell me where to get make / installation instructions?

Makefile said something about nasm so I installed nasm on a virtual DOS machine and did nasm makefile but there were a few errors saying error: label or instruction expected at start of line. Seems like these lines were comments. Does anyone know what to do? NASM is an assembler program, intended to produce object code from Assembler source files. When you said nasm makefile, you told nasm to try to assemble makefile. Because makefile isn't an assembly language source file, nasm had no idea what to make of it. Makefiles are instructions to the make utility. Make reads a makefile and performs the steps specified in it. The makefile defines what steps must be performed in what order to compile and build the program the makefile is for. Make will call nasm to assemble to assemble the appropriate assembly language file(s) specified in the makefile. Assuming you have make installed, go the the directory where the makefile is and just enter a make command. By default, make will look for a file called makefile in that directory, read it, and attempt to follow the instructions it gives.

Re: [Freedos-user] Compile mode.com
Hi! To compile FreeDOS MODE, you need the following: upx (in any of your PATH directories) nasm (same) tcc (Turbo C 2.01, search in the Borland museum / ask Rugxulo) make (also the old Borland version, I assume) In theory, it is also possible to compile mode with OpenWatcom C, using wcl instead of tcc by editing the makefile accordingly. However, the makefile says that this has not been tested so far. FreeDOS also has some other MAKE tools around. You could indeed try GNU MAKE which comes with DJGPP. However, you cannot compile MODE using the C compiler of DJGPP itself. You need a compiler which can produce 16bit binaries, such as Turbo C or OpenWatcom. Once you have all ingredients simply run make in the directory where the source code is. You can even do without upx, if you comment out that part of the makefile, but then you get larger binaries in the end.

Your best bet would be some Realtek or Intel wired network card, perhaps in combination with a PLX adapter (network through power wall socket).
