Ever since I started porting the tools I frequently use from linux to DOS I've been looking for a good way to do this. In practice, just about everything (non-X) that I use or have written for linux compiles successfully under djgpp/dos, but the hardest part is always hacking the makefiles. Usually I can run the configure script under linux and then copy the resulting makefiles to DOS and tweak them to get things going, but this always seems like a kludge. Has anyone come up with anything better?? Most importantly for me is to eventually be able to compile a completely working version of tclsh (John Ousterhout's Tcl command shell) for DOS from the standard source distribution without having to tweak all the makefiles and headers by hand to get things working... /jamie -- email: mazer AT ladyday DOT mit DOT edu mail: MIT, E25-634 phone: 617-253-5751(office)/-5792(lab) 45 Carleton St fax: 617-253-8943 Cambridge, MA 02139
