- Looking for: C++ compiler for Windows 3.1 that generates Win16 code
- Posted by Wishmaster \(c\) on March 25th, 2005
Hello!
I'm looking for a C/C++ Compiler for Windows 3.1 that generates Win16 (or
Win32s-compatible 32-bit) software.
I'm interesting in porting some open-source stuff for Windows 3.1.
GNU utilities such as 'make' and programs like Perl would be interesting
also.
Thanks.

In addition to what Gaby already said, I'd recommend getting Borland
C++ 4.5 from ebay. You get it almost for free, because people think
that nowadays it is not good enough anymore...
My C/C++ programs (see http://developer.dipl-ing-kessler.de ) are all
developed using this compiler.
A different solution is Watcom C++. You get it also from ebay. Maybe
there's still a chance to download it from the developers' site, but
it's rather huge.
Then you will enjoy ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/ ;-)
I'm currently working with "Unix" in a dos window under Wfw 3.11.
It works great!
Best regards,
Markus

In article <4244a273_5@x-privat.org>, wishmaster@mailinator.com says...
there is no need to pay for Watcom on eBay - this compiler still
generates 16-bit, and it's now open source and free.

It looks like they had changed the whole site and it's no longer
possible to just download it. Instead, all you see is "Donation &
Download". It's nothing but annoying. So, some months ago I got it
from ebay for a few euros.
But, if you have an E1- link or DSL flatrate and you want it _now_...
OK, then you can download it ;-)
