Hi,
Did anyone know where is "gcc" for the MSDOS is??
I prefer it to be ftpable.
Thanks.

The message that follows should provide the information you are after. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Yoshiaki Uchida's port of GNU gcc/gas/gld to MS-DOS is now available at ocf.berkeley.edu. Note that NO documentation is available and that this port is still in experimental stages. You will need an LHARC dearchiver to access the programs. A 80386 machine is required: a MS-DOS extender for 386s is provided. I have not tested this software, so you are on your own. It is over a megabyte is size, so if you're not really going to use it, you might want to think twice before you FTP it. The Internet address for ocf.berkeley.edu is 128.32.184.254. The files are located in ~ftp/pub/GNU/gcc. Also located at ocf is the entire GNUish MS-DOS archives (high quality ports of GNU software to MS-DOS, as conducted by Thorsten Ohl) and egaint, a rather nice Tetris game (with full source code). -reic -- eric ng 1906 milvia street berkeley california 94704 ..!ucbvax!irss.njit.edu!erc ...!ucbvax!radon!erc erc@irss.njit.edu erc@radon.berkeley.edu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Note: I guess the old loader didn't work correctly with DOS4.00+ so there is a new one at the site as well as the old one. If you can't find the stuff on ocf.berkely.edu (it might have been moved recently), it should be on sandstrom.berkeley.edu (128.32.234.18) -- Dave Morash morash@ug.cs.dal.ca morash%dalcsug%dalcs@watmath.uucp morash%dalcsug@dalcs.uucp

Basically, you can FTP to *.berkeley.edu, where * is any natural disaster, including as you point out, sandstorm, that you can think of. My personal favorite is locusts. 2) Is there any newer version than the 10/10/90 version?

This is g++, so it's C and C++. Is this for real? Or is it a cruel hoax? Or is it cruel reality? Has gcc(++) been ported to DOS, really? And if so, will it be acceptable in performance - both runtime and results? Enquiring minds want to know.

Indeed they do. The real question is, Does it work? I played a bit with the 10/10/90 version, but gave up when I found it couldn't do floating point division. Does the new version come with any dox (particularly for the ++ part) ?

Both it and the generated binaries run under 386 protected mode using a supplied "dos extender". Compared to Metaware High-C and PharLap Dos Extender: 1. About 1% slower. 2. Fewer DOS functions ported. In particular you can't write interupt routines or spawn DOS processes. I had to manually add some missing functions (stty and get/set break). 3. The Library is pretty barren. 4. No control over FP traps. 5. VM doesn't seem to work. 6. If you want to distribute commercially, the extender is $5/copy, if you use FSF it is free. The compiler is free. The Metaware/PharLap combo is $3000 w.o VM. It's fairly easy to live with the problems! -- Tom Almy toma@sail.labs.tek.com <<< Note new address Standard Disclaimers Apply

I just realized that I posted a review for *another* port of gcc than had been specifically mentioned here. This port is from DJ Delorie, and is available from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu (login ftp) directory /pub/msdos/djgcc. Not only does it have the Gnu C and C++, as, ld, ar, nm, strip, but also a 32 bit runtime with virtual memory support (which works -- there was an error in the docs -- yes, *this* port has some docs, although meager.)

You must be joking! 128MB RAM is about the maximum our 486 EISA system can be equipped with; I don't know of any 386/486 AT that can be equipped with that much of RAM Rob. -- # Rob Luursema, Philips Information Systems Apeldoorn, The Netherlands. # # Internet Domain: robl@idca.tds.philips.nl (UUCP: ..!hp4nl!philapd!robl) # # include <std/disclaimer> # A good workman is known by his tools #
