ranlib, not searched at the right place

[Paul Dufresne]

Goal: compile DOS 32 bits program in Linux because many scripts use bash

Not sure I am on the right track.



Non-finish attempt: use Delorie djcrx205.zip, but instructions were quite complex, and

about tools in 2001, and give up



Then found: https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler

at first not realizing it is for an other goal (building a kernel that boot under Grub)...

but I adapted by removing --without-headers... because I intend to compile "true" programs.



I had to install, like indicated, an older version of texinfo (version 4.13a -- latest before 5.0) for finishing:

make all-gcc



But I now get:

LANG=C make all-target-libgcc

result in:

sh /home/paul/Téléchargements/gcc-11.1.0/libgcc/../move-if-change $dest ../.././gcc/include/unwind.h

# Now that we have built all the objects, we need to copy

# them back to the GCC directory.  Too many things (other

# in-tree libraries, and DejaGNU) know about the layout

# of the build tree, for now.

Please clarify. Are you trying to compile DOS programs to run on linux?

Or just compile them on linux, to be run on Windows machines?

I think you are on completely the wrong track, but you haven't told us
how you even configured GCC so we can't really say much about the rest
of the errors you showed.

Re: ranlib, not searched at the right place

[Dan Kegel]

You probably want to use a prebuilt mingw on Linux, or possibly the one
that comes with git on windows...

compile them on linux, to be run on DOS under DPMI (cwsdpmi) machines?... not Windows

You don't seem to have binutils installed.  The correct build order for djgpp is
binutils -> stubify -> gcc -> libc -> libgcc/libstdc++.

I have a complete toolchain build script on github, you may find it useful:

Thank you so much!

It worked great... the second time... first time it was complaining my binutils file had premature EOF,

... so I rm -r build, rm download/*, and tried again.





Was able to compile hello.exe, and run it in DOSEMU2.



So I tried to go in my gnu-chess directory:

CC=/home/paul/opt/cross/bin/i386-pc-msdosdjgpp-gcc ./configure --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i386-pc-msdosdjgpp

maybe the CC stuff was not necessary...

So now, all I have to do is figure out how to handle threads in DOS, and I should be able to play chess! [80% joking]

Time for me to take my walk and think a bit...



Thank you again so much!

Re: ranlib, not searched at the right place

[Dan Kegel]

Threads and MS-DOS are not a great match.

You might want to check out ports of GNU chess to MS-DOS, see
