nanogui: Thread: Building MicroWindows under Borland C

Hi folks, I just signed up to this list yesterday. gunzipped and untared the 
files this morning.

For the purposes of evaluation (I'm trying to sell Microwindows to my 
management), I would like to build the demos under Borland C 3.1. Should I 
use the prj file under \src\contrib or the tcmwin.mak file under \src?

The prj file appears to be slightly outdated as demo.c does not exist.

Another quick question is this : can we do without a c++ compiler?

Thanks.

Ben

I had some problems with BC 3.1, so I fired up MSVC 1.52 instead and managed 
to compile after naming mcnanox.mak to makefile and running nmaker and doing 
various tweaks to makefile, vgaplan4.h and others.

Now, I've got a dos executable which appears to run, but the fonts are bad. 
Back to the drawing board.

Ben

Good, please send me your changes and I'll update the master.

No - read the comments in drivers/romfont.c.  You probably just
need to set the environment variable CHARHEIGHT=16 or 14.
You can also setup Microwindows to use the standard fonts,
rather than rom fonts, providing you're not running out of space in 64k.

Regards,

Greg

You should use .prj files and makes some fixes to show files.
