Goodday everyone, With the ancient CDRTOOLS/CDRECORD binaries (version 2.01 for DOS/DJGPP, no DVD support/code) from a russian website I'm trying to compile a more recent version so I can write to DVD as well. My successes using the source, Windows XP Home (Dutch, 32bit) and SMAKE + DJGPP are limited to:
- can compile the 2.01-bootcd.ru sources, ending up with COFF .exe file requiring CWSDPMI.EXE as a separate program - can compile the official 2.01 sources, ending up with COFF .exe file requiring CWSDPMI.EXE as a separate program - can compile the 2.01.01a11 sources, ending up with COFF .exe file requiring CWSDPMI.EXE as a separate program My issues are the following: - which djdev version to get? 2.03 or 2.04? been using 2.04 - which gcc family to get? 3.xx or 4.xx? been using 4.xx - which binaries to get (those closest to readme.msdos file listing, or the very latest? DJGPP ftp site is confusing as well) been using very latest. - cannot compile anything later than 2.01.01a11 (very latest is 2.01.01a38). Either makefile broke or something else? - no idea how to speciy i386 (dos/djgpp) as target for maximum compatibility. Currently ending up with "pc-i786-ms-dos-djgpp" - ending up with COFF .exe file requiring CWSDPMI.EXE as a separate program. - unable to attach (EXE2COFF CDRECORD.EXE ; COPY /B CWSDSTUB.EXE + CDRECORD CDRECORD.EXE) STUB, at least the binary won't load anymore. - binary's disk size is huge, any way to reduce? using UPX somewhere? at which point? The way I read it should work is correct? http://lists.freepascal.org/lists/fpc-pascal/2000-October/000240.html Been using CWSDSTUB though. Resulting binary seems to choke EMM386 on FreeDOS 1.0 <<<< Stubify.bat >>>> exe2coff %1.exe upx %1 -f -9 --coff copy /b /y \pp\bin\go32v2\pmodstub.exe+%1 %1.exe <<<< End of Stubify.bat >>>> Testing the binary is easy enough: 1) run it under windows with CDRECORD -SCANBUS 2) run it under FreeDOS 1.0 with CDRECORD -SCANBUS 3) run it under FreeDOS 1.0 with CDRECORD -SCANBUS (after loading ASPI.SYS through DEVLOAD ASPI.SYS) Getting help from the original author might be difficult, but guess I could contact him to mention I can't compile recent/latest versions with a toolchain that (partially) works for older releases? Current result is a working "CDRECORD-CLONE 2.01.01a11 (PC-i786-ms-dos-djgpp)" COFF image that is compressed by UPX yet still needs CWSDPMI to be around. Haven't performed any disk writing test(s) yet though. The ultimate goal is to provide decent CD/DVD writing on (Free)DOS as well as allowing to remaster FreeDOS ISO with updated components (Isolinux, Memdisk, FDBOOT.IMG) and content (FreeDOS packages) as well as allowing to change bootmethod for funny old computers (use direct read-only 1.44MB/2.88MB floppy emulation instead of Isolinux's non-emulation method) Thanks for any help or info, Bernd Cdrtools site : ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ Djgpp mirrorsite : ftp://ftp.fh-koblenz.de/pub/CompilerTools/DJGPP/ Dos CDrecord port : http://bootcd.narod.ru/index_e.htm (ASPI.SYS as well from OAK TECH, [lack-of-]license-issue..)
