Does anyone know a good little C++ compiler for DOS (not Watcom)? Confused | :confused:

Mike Nordell30-Jun-02 2:00

Not Watcom you say. How about OpenWatcom (the Open Source version - though the license isn't OSI approved yeat AFAIK)?

If you don't like that idea for some reason, what about djgpp? You can't get a better deal than a GPL compiler. Smile | :)

If you drop the "little" requirement you could probably find MSVC 1.52c (and the "c" is vital) somewhere. Perhaps even MS themselves would sell you a copy.

The first sentence on the DJGPP site:

<br />
DJGPP is a complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS. It includes ports of many GNU development utilities. The development tools require a 80386 or newer computer to run, as do the programs they produce. In most cases, the programs it produces can be sold commercially without license or royalties. <br />

Are you sure that DJGPP can make 16-bit DOS executables?

Ok, ok, you can Big Grin | :-D

Thanks!

Are you sure that DJGPP can make 16-bit DOS executables?

No, I'm not. Coming to think of it, perhaps it "only" created 32-bit DOS executables using its own "extender"...

For a more informed answer, perhaps you should head over to this place. Even that it's Open Watcom stuff, I believe many of the participants know quite a lot about DOS programming and therefore what possible compilers are available.

I also think you should have a look at the available searchable newsgroups to see if a similar question hasn't surfaced.

The "online" compiler can make 16-bit executables so i think DJGPP can make them too...

Thanks for your help

You can use Borland C++ 3.1, the last compiler from Borland for DOS

Or MS VC 1.52 - the last 16-bit compiler from Microslop.

who knows format of jpg and gif files?

29-Jun-02 23:42

I assume you know how to select a bitmap into a DC.

1. Select "Pic 1" into DC1.
2. Draw a horizontal line that is to be the "level" into that DC (only touching the inner edges of the container).
3. FloodFill the area below it.
Use any of the available techniques to TransBlt "Pic 2" on top. There are numerous examples here at CP.

Read the FAQ, it's got at least three ways to read and write them in it.

They need to be named appropriately, I forget the details, but it's in MSDN.

problem is that the SDK is kinda of big and i just need specifically the Internet Protocol Helper API.

anyone?
thanxs in advance

I don't think you can get it separately -- its part of the core files. You can get it on CD for minimal cost.

IDE Line numbers?

29-Jun-02 12:20

Ive looked everywhere... how the heck do i turn the lines numbers on in the IDE so I can tell where my errors are coming from?

Re: IDE Line numbers?

Ancient Dragon29-Jun-02 13:03

Its not necessary. Line numers always appear on the IDE's status line (at the bottom of the IDE). Or you can go directly to a line number by selecting Edit | Go To ..., then entering the line number.

Double-click an error line and the IDE will jump right to it. You can then use F4 and shift+F4 to cycle thru the errors.

Direct3D and MDI windows

29-Jun-02 11:28

Hi all,

just a quick question to find out if anyone has tried making an mdi app in mfc that has direct3d display in each child window. And if anyone has tried it, what approach have you used. I can only think of one way of doing this, which entail recreating the d3d device everytime the user switches between the mdi window....or am I going about it all wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards
