Kernel 2043? Any particular reason to not use the stock build? Did you modify anything or add any patches? Just curiosity? > I use Dosbox in Ubuntu Linux and watcom comiler from FreeDOS, version 1.9. Which version of DOSBox? 0.74-3? Which Ubuntu? 20.04 LTS 64-bit? OpenWatcom can also run natively atop Linux. The old 1.9 installer had a bug where it needed "export TERMINFO=/lib/terminfo" first. You could also probably unzip it and manually install. (I assume it has a Linux makefile somewhere. It also had a MinGW makefile, IIRC.) You also need NASM and UPX. (You might need one older [or newer??] than 2.16.01.) > I changed config.b to use watcom and copied to config.bat, then start with > buildall.bat. > The compilation hangs in BOOT/boot.asm:437 Warning Must update constant > offset (17Bh)... > > What did i wrong? I don't know, but I'm not sure DOSBox is recommended (or even supported) for this kind of task. The only times I really rebuilt the kernel were atop FreeDOS itself (under QEMU or VirtualBox). _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
