Instead of flat, have bin, lib and include folders for
the native DOS pieces.
If you have been cross-compiling for MSDOS, you will
need to carry out the following to bring things up-to-date:
sys/msdos/fetch-cross-compiler.sh
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 WANT_DEBUG=1 package
Before using this updated packaging you will need
to do the following (one time):
sh sys/msdos/fetch-cross-compiler.sh
And you'll need to update your Makefiles as follows.
On Linux:
sh sys/msdos/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/linux.370
or on macOS;
sh sys/msdos/setup.sh sys/unix/hints/macOS.370
Create the msdos package with:
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 package
move out-of-date hints files to the outdated folder.
rename the hints files, and hints/include files that are currently
named *.2020 to *.370 (next release number).
On some platforms this may require:
make spotless
make fetch-lua
I did attempt to force a reminder message about the latter to
Makefile.top this time, and hope that works correctly for everyone.
- If you want to obtain the djgpp cross-compiler and tools/libs for MSDOS,
which is available for linux and macOS, you can use the following script
to obtain it:
sh sys/msdos/fetch-cross-compiler.sh
That script won't install anything, it is just file fetches. It will
store the cross-compiler in subfolders of lib and the hints files are
configured to find it appropriately there.
Note: Both the fetch and the msdos cross-compile package target require
unzip and zip to be available on your host build system.
Cross-compiler bits:
https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp
and the pre-built binary for your platform from:
https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/releases/download/v3.0/
and a DOS-extender (for including in msdos packaging) from
http://sandmann.dotster.com/cwsdpmi/csdpmi7b.zip
and pdcurses from:
https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses.git
The MSDOS cross-compile can then be carried out by specifying
CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 on the make command line.
For example:
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 all
make CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 package
You can explicitly include tty and curses support if desired, otherwise
you'll end up with a tty-only cross-compile build:
make WANT_WIN_TTY=1 WANT_WIN_CURSES=1 CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 all
Also note that building the msdos targets using the make command
above, does not preclude you from building local linux or macOS
targets as well. Just drop the CROSS_TO_MSDOS=1 from the make
command line.
The cross-compiler hints additions are enclosed inside ifdef sections
and won't interfere with the non-cross-compile build in that case.
