February 02, 2003 Compiling DOS program | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Hi! I've worked with Borland C++ 5.02 until now but I've been looking for a new compiler for a long time since Borland's old compiler doesen't follow the standard very well.. So I found Digital Mars and it seems like it will also compile DOS executables wich is exactly what I need (that's why I used Borland's compiler in the first place). I've downloaded and installed the Compiler (v. 8.32) and DOS 16 libraries. This is the program I'm trying to compile: int main () { unsigned char* video_buffer = (unsigned char*)0xB8000000; video_buffer[0] = 'x'; return 0; } My question is simply, how do I tell the compiler that I wan't to make this a 16-bit DOS executable? If I type "dmc" withouy any arguments I get the following: -m[tsmclvfnrpxz][do][w][u] set memory model s: small code and data m: large code, small data c: small code, large data l: large code and data v: VCM r: Rational 16 bit DOS Extender p: Pharlap 32 bit DOS Extender x: DOSX 32 bit DOS Extender z: ZPM 16 bit DOS Extender f: OS/2 2.0 32 bit t: .COM file n: Windows 32s/95/98/NT/2000/ME/XP d: DOS 16 bit o: OS/2 16 bit w: SS != DS u: reload DS so I figured I should just type dmc test.cpp -md but it doesen't work? Have I gotten anything wrong? I would be really glad if someone could help me with this. And thanks for a great compiler so far! |

Posted in reply to Hans Wennborg | Well, apparently the answer was in the documentations so I guess I should apologize for my dumb question.
Everything is working perfectly now thanks to this great compiler, I'm thinking strongly about buying the CD-ROM so I get the IDDE and all the other great stuff!
Thanks for a great compiler!
