Re: ver. 4 Question about building Linux Interpreter ?

I want to build the latest Linux interpreter on XP.
What is needed to do this ?
Can I use Open OpenWatcom ?
Is there a batch file or make file ?
Is there some place where there are instructions or
a how to build tutorial ?
OpenWatcom is not a supported compiler on Linux, so you will need to install and use some flavor of gcc.
Probably you'll need a Mingw or Cygwin cross compiler. These are not standard afaik, so this means compiling gcc (and its dependencies) from source code.
(I currently have the reverse set up - on Linux, a Linux-to-Mingw cross compiler.)
I want to use WINDOWS XP to build a interpreter for LINUX.
The read me text file that is in the VER. 4's source code
explains how to build the LINUX interpreter but It is a
read me file written for VER 3.11
I need to know where the information is for VER. 4
The instructions in the readme do not explain how to cross compile between platforms, only how to build a compiler for a given platform on that given platform. I.e. how to build for linux on linux.
This is how you do it on ver 4:
export EUDIR= export EUINC= cd source ./configure make cp eui euc eub eu.a ../bin
But those instructions wont work on Windows, unless you have the proper Mingw or Cygwin environment set up.
