Need Crosscompiler Linux -> DOS (native), gcc?

Hi,

I own an Beck DK40, including an embedded 80186. For this I want to compile C sources. I would have been done it with the free Borland 5.5 but this won't work, it uses too much things for PCs but this is an embedded device which is only able to handle native requests. Obviously Borland's 5.1 may work, but much better would be to compose sources on a Linux machine (Debian) and ftp it to the embedded device (as for the empeg - but for DOS).

Does anybody know how to get a gcc crosscompiling for DOS without hassle? I know there are some guides for building my own supercrosscompiler but maybe I could just apt-get install it ;-).

regards,
Rolf

Maybe check out DJGPP- their may be a linux compiled version of it somewhere. If nothing else you can develop on linux/gcc and then easily port using DJGPP.

Thank you for this info. I tried it but found my very old Turbo C on a spare part of my harddisk (dated 1994) and this seems to work easily. So I will give up and just use this Windows-thing...

regards,
Rolf
