FPC and OpenWatcom
« on: April 27, 2023, 05:33:47 am »
Hi.

I've read about the current stable version of FPC (3.2.2) had target support for Watcom Extenders (i.e DOS4GW, maybe Causeway too?), i've tried to search documentation how to build a crosscompiler or set the environment but found nothing about it.

There's any tips and guidance about how to do it?

Scroll very down and you see my attachment.
Since it is wiki, I really do not know if things have been changed.

i just saw it unfortunately, although i was able to configure it under Windows, using the official win32 and win64 of fpc windows installer, and had OpenWatcom v2 installed and on PATH, after doing a copy of wasm to be renamed i386-watcom-wasm, unfortunately i was unable to complete it.

Code: [Select]
F:\fpc\rtl\units\watcom\system.asm(107) : Warning A4130: Incompatible with segment alignment: 16

F:\fpc\rtl\units\watcom\system.asm: 61072 lines, 1 passes, 63 ms, 7 warnings, 2 errors
There's also several warning about the assembler switches used from the makefile being reported as not valid for WASM (or JWASM for example)
looks like the watcom target is really broken.
