Why should Debian politics be a barrier to its adoption by Wine? The installer from the openwatcom downloads page (version 1.8) works well - just stick to the official release and not the "Alternative Distributions" at the bottom of the page, which can't cross-compile. Then after you install it, it's a simple matter of: export WATCOM=/path/to/install/dir export PATH=$WATCOM/binl:$PATH export INCLUDE=$WATCOM/h/win export LIB=$WATCOM/lib386/win wcc -bt=windows hello.c wcl -l=windows hello.o wine hello.exe where hello.c has this: #include <windows.h> int PASCAL WinMain( HINSTANCE this_inst, HINSTANCE prev_inst, LPSTR cmdline, int cmdshow ) { MessageBox(NULL,"Hello world","Win16",MB_OK); return 0; } $ file hello.exe hello.exe: MS-DOS executable, NE for MS Windows 3.x :-) Damjan
