[Resolved] Using OpenWatcom compiler in C::B
Eric75000:
Hello everybody !
First of all, excuse me for my bad english, I'm a little frenchy :lol:
I'm using C::B 1.0rc2 with OpenWatcom 1.7 compiler (last version)
I'm trying to create a user template on C::B who allows me to use a 32bits program in a DOS extender like DOS4GW. (Yes, I know it's a old method, but it's to learn... :wink: )
I start with the "Console Application" initial template (Files/New Project...) and modify it to use Open Watcom compiler. (Right click on "Console application" in my workspace, Targets, Target's build options, Selected compiler, OpenWatcom (W32) Compiler)
But when i try a Ctrl+F9, it's not the good version of Open Watcom compiler who starts (wcc386.exe instead of wcl386.exe)
Where can I modify this parameters ? (Obtain in Selected compiler something like "OpenWatcom (DOS - 32 bits) Compiler" as OpenWatcom can normaly do)
Can anyone help me, please ?
Thanks in advance !
Bests Regards,
Eric.

RC2 is pretty old. Please download a latest nightly from the following link.

I'm afraid that even if you change the compiler executable to wcl386.exe it may not work well with RC2. Lately the support of newer OpenWatcom compilers has been enhanced in recent nightlies.
BTW, please note that the Console Wizard will create the Project for Win32 executables (console). In case you want to create a DOS executable, you've to change the appropriate command line option (-bt=dos) in Project > Build options.

Thanks Biplab for your answer ! :D
I'll install the latest nightly this evening like you recommand... (I stayed at RC2 version because in France, in some forums like this one, they do not recommand to use nightly builds... so like I'm a beginner...:mrgreen:)

I'm not sure that the comman line option (-bt=dos) works because in the prog is inserted some ASM instructions (witch use DOS interruptions)
And the prog to work properly must use DOS4GW, and if you use another compiler executable instead of wcl386.exe, it will compile but not work...
I'll try it this evening and tell you...
C U soon,
Eric

I just gave you an example. I wanted to say that in case you want to develop programs for DOS, you'll need to change certain parameters. :)
I hope you'll get a better experience with C::B nightlies as opposed to other forums say. ;)

Hi !
=> Now I'm using C::B Nightly build SVN4491 : what the difference compared to RC2 !!!! :P
So I've found where I can transmit the "-l=dos4g" command line (Thanks Biplab) to the compiler...
But the prog still doesn't work ! :(
Where can I config more verbose build logs in C::B please ? (only 5 lines in SVN4491 instead of many many lines in RC2)
