Message-Id: <201312272038.rBRKcYH1026851@delorie.com> Date: Fri, 27 Dec 2013 20:39:42 +0100 From: Juan Manuel Guerrero To: djgpp-announce AT delorie DOT com Subject: ANNOUNCE: Release 3 of tcp/ip library Watt-32 (version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) compiled with DJGPP. Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Reply-To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com This is release 3 of the Watt-32 tcp/ip library compiled with DJGPP. Watt-32 is a library for making networked TCP/IP programs in the language of C and C++ under DOS and Windows-NT. Both 16-bit real-mode and 32-bit protected-mode is supported. For DOS, Watt-32 requires a packet-driver (PKTDRVR) to access the data-link layer. Further information about this library can be obtained at: DJGPP specific changes. ======================= The difference between this release and the previous one is that the library has been compiled using -march=i386 -mtune=i586 to generate i386 compatible code. These are the same flags that are used to build the C library of DJGPP from the CVS repository. These flags may not work with very old compilers and may have to been adjusted accordingly. The goal is to have a single library compiled with one compiler and not two different libraries compiled with two different compilers for different processors. All other changes are the same than in the previous port releases. For details of the previous releases that are still valid for this release see at: As usual all djgpp specific changes are documented as diff files stored in the /djgpp directory. If you want to apply the patches to the original sources, you must apply first diffs-watt-32 and then diffs. Please do _NOT_ mix libraries. If you decide to compile your project using DJGPP 2.03 use the watt32 library from the /current directory. But if you use DJGPP 2.04 then use the watt32 library from the /beta directory. Do _NOT_ mix libraries compiled with different versions of DJGPP. The port has been compiled using stock djdev203 (patchlevel 2) and consists of the two packages that can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (time stamp 2013-12-21): Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222br3.zip Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) source: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2tk/wat3222sr3.zip The binaries have been produced a second time using the stock version of djdev204 beta library. This package is available AT ftp DOT delorie DOT com and mirrors as (time stamp 2013-12-21): Watt-32(version 2.2 dev-rel. 10) binaries, headers,, library and docs: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2tk/wat3222br3.zip Just in case that this library version does not work well on 386 systems, I have kept the previous release.
