This compiler is the binary executables and support files for the 386 version of generic 386/68K compiler. Included is the binary for the 68K cross-compiler. Companion files to this file which should be found on the same distribution site are: ccdl139s.zip - compiler sources + CL386 sources ccdl139l.zip - rtl sources + DPMI setups The above files are useful for changing the compiler/library sources that are included in this file. This version of the compiler generates ASM code in the TASM or NASM format. However the RTL sources were written in TASM. Either TLINK or WLINK can be used to generate the actual DOS executable. A simple debug-like debugger may be linked in with the image for debugging purposes; however images created with WLINK may alternately be debugged with the watcom debugger. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The following people have contributed to the DOS run-time environment: TRAN (thomas pytel) - PMODE307 and PMODE/W for DPMI support Charles Scheffold - PMODE/W for DPMI support Kirill Joss - CL386 program and WATCOM startup files Matthew Brandt - portions of the C compiler David Lindauer - C compiler and run-time libraries ------------------------------------------------------------------------ First run the install program: install drive: where drive is the drive you want to install to. INSTALL will make a directory tree \CC386 in this drive and move necessary executables, libraries, and header files there. The directory drive:\CC386\BIN must be on the path; install will automatically add it to the path if you answer 'Yes' when it asks if you want your autoexec.bat file modified. Otherwise you must install it by hand. INSTALL sets up the system assuming you wish to use the CL386 shell. If you do NOT wish to use the CL386 shell to build programs, there is a file 'build.bat' which takes you through the build sequence for a single source file. Once you have the program installed, type: cl386 to build a program using TASM and TLINK. Alternately use the pmb.bat batch file. If you want to link with wlink the only way to do it currently is to use the 'pmw.bat' batch file. There is currently no support for the watcom assembler. BTW, if you use the -v option on CL386 it will link a debug-like debugger into your code.
