13. Windows 3.1x
================
make -f Make_w16.mak 16 bit, Borland C++ 5.0
Warning: Be sure to use the right make.exe. It should be Borland make.
You will almost certainly have to change the paths for libs and include files
in the Makefile. Look for "D:\BC5" and "ctl3dv2". You will get a number of
warnings which can be ignored ( _chmod, precompiled header files, and
"possibly incorrect assignment").
The makefile should also work for BC++ 4.0 and 4.5, but may need tweaking to
remove unsupported compiler & liker options.
For making the Win32s version, you need Microsoft Visual C++ 4.1 OR EARLIER.
In MSVC 4.2 support for Win32s was dropped! Use this command:
nmake -f Make_mvc.mak GUI=yes
The Windows 3.1x support was removed in patch 7.4.1364.
14. MS-DOS
==========
Summary:
ren Make_bc3.mak Makefile; make 16 bit, Borland C++ and Turbo C++
ren Make_tcc.mak Makefile; make 16 bit, Turbo C
make -f Make_djg.mak 32 bit, DJGPP 2.0
make -f Make_bc5.mak 32 bit, Borland C++ 5.x (edit it to
define DOS)
Warning: Be sure to use the right make.exe. Microsoft C make doesn't work;
Borland make only works with Make_bc3.mak, Make_bc5.mak and Make_tcc.mak;
DJGPP/GNU make must be used for Make_djg.mak.
The Borland C++ compiler has been used to generate the MS-DOS executable; it
should work without problems. You will probably have to change the paths for
LIBPATH and INCLUDEPATH in the start of the Makefile. You will get two
warnings which can be ignored (one about _chmod and one about precompiled
header files).
The "spawno" library by Ralf Brown was used in order to free memory when Vim
starts a shell or other external command. Only about 200 bytes are taken from
conventional memory. When recompiling get the spawno library from Simtel,
directory "msdos/c". It is called something like "spwno413.zip". Or follow
the instructions in the Makefile to remove the library.
The Turbo C Makefile has not been tested much lately. It is included for those
that don't have C++. You may need to make a few changes to get it to work.
DJGPP needs to be installed properly to compile Vim; you need a lot of things
before it works. When your setup is OK, Vim should compile with just one
warning (about an argument to signal()).
Make_bc5.mak is for those that have Borland C++ 5.0 or later. At the top of
the file, there are some variables you can change to make either a 32-bit
Windows exe (GUI or console mode), or a 16-bit MS-DOS version.
NOTE: multi-byte support is broken in the Borland libraries, not everything
will work properly! Esp. handling multi-byte file names.
If you get all kinds of strange error messages when compiling, try changing
the file format from "unix" to "dos".
The MS-DOS support was removed in patch 7.4.1399.
