NOT necessarily true. Even worse, GCC core itself (Linux-GCC/DGJPP/MinGW/CygWin) does not generate win32 code, it generates just 32-bit code ;-) You can't use GCC to compile FreeDOS kernel because GCC supports 1'000'000'000 targets but 8086-compatible 16-bit real mode is NOT among them. not meant to be built with gcc? what about djgpp the DOS 386 gcc compiler? or will it not work becase of the runtime and the DPMI requirement? -- ~~~ wow ~~~ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Planet: dedicated and managed hosting, cloud storage, colocation Stay online with enterprise data centers and the best network in the business Choose flexible plans and management services without long-term contracts Personal 24x7 support from experience hosting pros just a phone call away. http://p.sf.net/sfu/theplanet-com _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
