I got the 4.0.5 source to compile under Watcom.
In a few I few places, it did not find
c:\euphoria\source\main-.h
c:\euphoria\source\main-.c
c:\euphoria\source\init-.c
wmake -f makefile.wat test went though with a very few failures.
These are messages like
You may now run t_memory-bound.exe
You may now run t_msgbox-bound.exe
but I did not find the exe files anywhere.
I matter of some concern is that the generated file sizes are much bigger than the downloaded files.
generated eui.exe is 1867 KB, where as the actual one supplied by the installed version is 505 KB
generated euiw.exe is also 1867 KB, where as the actual one supplied by the installed version is 505 KB
and so on.
euphoria\source\build library is fill on object files in 3-4 folders.
I looked at another download I have of a eubin, and that also showed larger files. Is that due to difference of compilers?
Next I tried to execute
wmake -f makefile.wat install
It refused to proceed because there was overwriting involved over existing files in euphoria
I still do not know exactly how to proceed with the GCC compile, but I will have a go tomorrow, after I clear my headache generated by Watcom.
