Welcome to the LibDOS wiki!

How to Install

LibDOS uses SDL2, which needs to be installed. See [https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php]. On Mac, the easiest way to get SDL2 is to use Homebrew and type at the commend line: brew install sdl2

Linux and Mac

In a location of your choosing, at the command line, type:

git clone https://github.com/xiphiasnonus/LibDOS.git

In the directory that's created (called LibDOS), type:

make install

This will build libdos.a and copy it and the header files to /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include, respectively. (If you want to build the library but not install it, just type make.)

Windows

How to Build

To build a LibDOS program you must link with the LibDOS library and the SDL2 library:

  cc main.c -ldos -lSDL2

This assumes libdos.a is in the system library location (/usr/local/lib).
