I can expect from you. I was under the impression that djgpp could only generate 32 bit i386 code, while FreeDOS is essentially 16 bit. I have been trying to get it to build with bcc "Bryan's C Compiler", but I haven't been able to get it working (the biggest problem being the lack of documentation for bcc and me knowing very little of compilers and i86 assembly). It would be very nice if you would be able to get FreeDOS compiled with a free compiler though, as this would mean that we can finally include it in Debian and move dosemu from contrib to main. -- Kind regards, +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Bas Zoetekouw | GPG key: 0644fab7 | |----------------------------| Fingerprint: c1f5 f24c d514 3fec 8bf6 | | bas AT o2w DOT nl, bas AT debian DOT org | a2b1 2bae e41f 0644 fab7 | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
