Does anyone have a working task tree for writing x86-16 Dos apps cross compiled on an arm64(raspi 4).
I resently rebuild my pi4 miniserver and figured why not code and compile on it instead of the Super Tandy (v30, full base ram, 2mb ems, dual cf 128+512, nic, DIY hd/fdd controller, gotek).
But I can't get wine or box86 to run and of the x86 compilers and there is no arm64 open watcom or gcc ia-16elf. And bosbox under ssh is calculated in minutes per frame.

sure, build openwatcom v2 on your pi. it builds cross compilers so you can run the linux version of wcc and it outputs dos 16bit code.
