Hello,
I am trying to compile a very simple app (hello world kind) for DOS or
even for the Windows 98 rescue disk.
My first attempts ended up with a "This program cannot be run in DOS mode".
On the FP IDE I see many targets, but I don´t know witch one to
compile against. I see a few possible targets:
* GO32 V2 DOS extender
* Win32 for i386
* WDOSX DOS extender
* Watcom compatible DOS extenders
Witch one should I compile against?? Win32 doesn´t work and GO32
claims it can´t find system unit.
Should I recompile FPC for GO32 in order to use it? What is the
difference between it and WDOX or Watcom??
One might wonder what the reason for compiling to DOS is? I happen to
have an 486 running ibm-dos in my house and I´d like to use my own
program to test the ISA Card I recently created, instead of the DEBUG
program.
thanks,
