If you load a WAD file along side say the DOOM2.exe as in "DOOM2.exe -file xxx xxx.wad" you'll receive a message in DOSBox X stating that it can't find the file. Where as if you close the space "DOOM2.exe -file xxxxxx.wad" it loads without issue. This is to be expected because Doom does not know …

What is your end goal? For instance, I see value in jwlink targeting DOS, but I don’t see value in jwlink running in DOS. To me, it is much preferable to run it on Linux or Win32, depending on the situation. And you should probably switch to the non-abandoned repository here . If you are just trying …

Using these stub libs at build time makes sense, though. Microsoft has been doing the same thing in Windows with their import libs since day one.

Translating from Pascal should actually be rather straight forward. If you need help with German, just ask! If I find time, I’ll share my hacky patch that I made in order to make it build with Virtual Pascal during the weekend.

I also tested the Linux build from the latest Virtual Pascal, but it aborts with a runtime error similar to the one from the binary package, but it at least gets to the first file and crashes after having done some output and creating the file. Whereas the one from the binary package crashes …

e_wise built from source using the latest Virtual Pascal (from 2006) works on Windows 10. I tried this today. But it does not build out of the box, because some parts of the home-grown gettext mechanism seem to be missing. I patched it and initialized all the string pointers by hand, statically. It …

I’ve never approached Virtual Pascal in the past, but now that I’ve done so because of e_wise, I am a bit puzzled as to how the original author built a DOS executable out of this. I can only choose from OS/2, Win32 or Linux. I guess he must have used an earlier version of Virtual Pascal. Anyway, I …

It really depends on your setup. I can understand that compiling LibreOffice on a 2009 laptop, even with SSD and maxed out RAM can take at least 10 hours... but with a current-day Ryzen and 32GB RAM you can do it in 40-50 minutes if you know what you're doing. I was talking specifically about e_ …

There is also WiseUnpacker, which should be up to the task (not tested yet) and might be portable enough.

Between line 30 and 40 there's a considerable amount of time taken. It would be nice to let us know what's exactly happening. Normally when e_wise is run in DOSBox, it looks like in the attachment.

Going by the files in the source archive, it seems to have been built with Virtual Pascal. Which I don't know, but I had experience with Turbo Pascal back then. And I speak German, so I can at least easily understand all the messages, comments and identifier names in there.

I’ve recently seen a very similar usage of DOSBox in the open-watcom-v2 build. I did not check what they did exactly, but superficially, it would be mostly the same. Do you really need stdout? Don’t you just need to get out some files? After you have a mount, that would happen automatically anyway. …
