I would like to do some C/C++ programming on my win95 or linux platforms
to run on my hp200lx (16-bit msdos5.0). Will djgpp/rhide do this for
me? My aim is to port a GPS interface program written in C and
currently running on my Linux box to run in the hp200lx. My thought is
that I would first port it to my desktop system running win95 (on the
hope that the serial port management would be similar to the hp200lx),
and then compile for 16-bit DOS to run on the hp200lx.
I currently have a program running on my Linux box that interfaces to a
handheld GPS via a serial port. I would like to port this program so
that it will run on my hp200lx handheld which runs msdos5.0. I would
like to be able to test the program on my desktop before downloading it
to the handheld.
Can I accomplish this using djgpp/rhide on my win95 or linux boxes? If
yes, what are the issues I need to consider/resolve? If no, can anyone
steer me toward a better solution (I have heard folks are using M$ C v6
for this, but I like the idea of a gcc-based copylefted system.)
If this is a stupid question to start with, please educate me! :)
TIA,
Frank
