Hi, next problem. I have a win32 source code that uses the "getcwd" function. I only found this declaration in "unistd.h".

1. This include is not documented anywhere, right? Why?

2. I need to define M_UNIX or M_XENIX to get this file included. What is this? I found no documentation. I see that it's for unix stuff but DMC is a Win32 compiler.

3. When including "unistd.h" I get a lot of other errors I didn't got before. Is there a Win32 compliant definition for "getcwd"?

There once was a unix version of DMC, but it fell by the wayside. getcwd() for win32 is in direct.h. -Walter

Hi, well maybe we can see a Linux version one day...

Thanks. How about retering the "unistd.h" file and removing it from the distribution? Robert

Yeah, it should go.

A Linux DMC++ would be great.

How much work is involved, Walter?

One was built at one time, but there was insufficient interest in it.

Consider me interested in DMC++ for Linux.
I want my programs be cross-platform DOSX/Win32/Linux, but I don't want to
use another compiler for Linux.

How you measured "sufficient" and "insufficient" ? Is that Linux version available on CD ? What is the speed of it. I consider DMC much better than Win32/DOS ports of GCC. If it can be also faster than GCC on its "native" Linux platform perhaps some advertisement could help ?

It's not available because it wasn't completed. It did generate faster code (about 10%) than the gcc of the time, though I'm told gcc has improved, but I'm skeptical.
