Hello! I just managed to cross-compile things for MINIX PC with Turbo C 2.0 using the s2asm package, nearcall and dos2out. The only problem is that something with the signal handling does not work correct. I guess that it has to do with setjmp/longjmp. I took the MINIX versions and converted them by s2asm, but perhaps they are compiler dependent. Is this true? dos2out was not able to convert exe files to MINIX load format, because it is unable to get the right text segment size. At the moment, it asks me for this size before converting, but this is a suboptimal solution. Any suggestions? Anything else is fine. I compiled rogue (and played it all the weekend) and although Origami is my favourite Editor, I compiled elle 4.1g (not 4.1b)!!! I do not like things only available as binaries. I wrote a small document about how to compile libraries for MINIX PC with ACK, BCC and Turbo C. I will post it to this group, since a lot of people seem to have problems with building new libraries - tsort being one. I built my library with 80286 optimization and I hate working with DOS, so I can't build XT binaries. Maybe some XT user will do so and put a new elle binary on a ftp server. Since using Fred's WNEWS 3.00 I regularly get the message file table overflow when unbatching while make is running. I increased FILPS to 96, to increase the file table. Is this ok, or should additional work be done? Namaskaar Michaael Haardt PS: I got a lot mail after posting the MINIX software list, but there was nobody who send me entries of other software on other archives. Is the list complete? ;-) I am sure it isn't.
