csol (DOS version)

A port of csol for DOS.

Can be compiled using:

• pdcurses
• Open Watcom

Compiling using DOSBox

• Download and unpack the csol-dos sources

• Create a lib directory in the root of the source tree

• Download the PDCurses source from https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses/releases and unpack to lib/pdcurses

• Download the installer for Open Watcom C/C++ for DOS from http://www.openwatcom.org/download.php into the lib directory

• Start dosbox in the root of the csol-dos source tree (e.g. run dosbox .)

• Go to the directory containing the Open Watcom installer: cd lib

• Run the installer, e.g. open-w~1.exe

• When asked for the install path, type C:\LIB\WATCOM

• Finish the installation using the default settings.

• The installer creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file that sets up the correct environment. It should look like this:

    PATH C:\LIB\WATCOM\BINW;%PATH%;
    SET INCLUDE=C:\LIB\WATCOM\H;
    SET WATCOM=C:\LIB\WATCOM
    SET EDPATH=C:\LIB\WATCOM\EDDAT
    SET WIPFC=C:\LIB\WATCOM\WIPFC
  

• Run it: ..\AUTOEXEC.BAT

• Then go to the directory containing the DOS makefiles for PDCurses: CD PDCURSES\DOS

• Compile PDCurses: wmake -f Makefile.wcc

• Go back to the root of the csol-dos source tree: cd \

• Compile csol: wmake

• You can now run csol from the current directory: csol
