Re: Euphoria 3.0.0 Released! - what about Openwatcom?
Hi,
Nice to see that Euphoria is now actually open source.
So I went and tried to build it.
There's no mention anywhere in the build
instructions what Watcom version should be used.
From looking inside the exw.exe I see that it is probably build
with some old (10,11?) version of the Watcom Compiler.
Now, I have tried building it with Openwatcom 1.5. First it
seemed like there are no bigger problems. I left INT_CODES
defined. exw.exe was built without problems.
First example i tried was animal.x. Worked.
Second example was the sieve Benchmark. This doesn't work, it hangs.
I ran the sieve8k.exw with trace. It hangs at line 42. ENDFOR statement.
Can anyone confirm this?
From looking at source I see that there are quite a few Watcom-specific
hacks. Now I really think that Openwatcom should be properly supported.
From what I understand BCC and LCC dont seem to have "threaded code"
implemented and are thus much slower. Or maybe support gcc/mingw32 on
windows? That's quite common nowadays.
Anyway, just my two cents.
Thumbs up for making euphoria completely free!
regards,
D. Schrott
