and - BTW - FreeDOS does NOT want to be a Windows 9x replacement. Of course not. It wants to be a MS-DOS replacement. The initial question wasn't to transform FreeDOS into a GUI magically but to create a new project for a GUI running on FreeDOS.

Before I even try messing with hx extender ??? does anyone know if it will work out-of-the-box with djgpp HX has a DGJPP hack, untested by me (ask FloX) which I am used to, and I don't trust having two compilers of the same language present simultaneously. HX is NOT a compiler. Also,

Ok, I give up; I knew that linux has 'make' and 'make install' all over the place, but, until this afternoon, I never knew that dos has it. NO. While attempting to install some parts of HX and GEM to djgpp, I was struck by this: use 'make' to configure the includes(headers) and libraries,

Ahhh, it's amazing; not one tutorial specifically for the dos version of 'make'; even what there is, not too specific. To wit: indeed, some thing you are trying to install,say , HX, GEM, etc., they do include makefiles, but they don't tell you where to put the makefile. So, you keep trying to use

Yes, I prettymuch get that, but for instance that djgpp hack someone mentioned; it has a file named 'makefile', but in what directory should it be placed? I mean, there are *several* files in these distros named 'makefile', so without messing around with the path, if I explicitly use make -f

Each directory that has stuff to be built has its own (customized) makefile. From the DOS command line, cd to the desired directory, and run command make or make install (as appropriate). This results in the directory's files being built (using the information in 'makefile'). Sometimes

Yes, but the project was formulated with a clear object: Create a free replacement for MS-DOS. And take 10+ years to get it !!! Create a free replacement for a Win9x system is a bigger objective, and is different enough to be a different project. 2009/6/17, Mike Webb weeble7...@gmail.com:
