* config/dos/global.cf
! Fixed to use xcopy instead of copy to 'install' files.
This means long filenames (and also casing) will be retained.
This also means that now 'install' actually works.
It may also mean that creating a DJGPP build isn't anymore
possible on a pure DOS system, I can't remember when xcopy
was introduced. Anyway I think it's better to have this
requirement than not having a proper DOS build at all
(since long years).
This also means that our DOS release cannot even be *used*
in pure DOS environment, since our long filenames will
be chopped when extracting the distro .zip. Only final
.exes are able to run under DOS.
We still have the option to implement full short name
support, but I'm not sure this has any importance anymore.
If we don't want to do this, we can finally lift some
restrictions which tied our hands so far, based on the
fact that DOS builds cannot even be created and run on
real DOS. So, this means:
- We may use long filenames as distro name.
- We may convert DOS platform as a target only platform,
similar to WinCE/ARM.
- If we do the above, we may even embed our DOS
libs in Windows distro, and build DOS apps using
hbmk2 hello.prg -arch=dos
- We may use long filename anywhere in our tree.
(but we must check first if long names are also
supported for headers, dirnames and source names)
If you have an opinion, please tell.
* config/dos/global.cf
! Adding ending pathsep to DOC_SUBDIR to make xcopy happy
and not ask if the target is a file or directory.
; TOFIX: Anyhow, DOC_SUBDIR feature simply doesn't work since
very long, so we should do something about it in the future.
* debian/changelog
+ Added new version entry. (Thanks Guy)
* bin/postinst.bat
! Added workaround to make it work under DOS.
(avoiding 'Out of environment space' error)
+ mpkg_dos.bat
+ Added DOS package generator batch. Very similar
to mpkg_win.bat, maybe we should merge them in
the future.
* mpkg_win.bat
* Using short name for main dir, just to sync it with
DOS version.
* utils/hbformat/hbformat.prg
+ Changed default GT to GTCGI.
* utils/hbmk2/hbmk2.prg
! Added workaround for dos/djgpp anomaly in hb_DirBase()
(and also hb_ProgName()) where path contains forward
slashed instead of backslashes.
; TOFIX: In core.
* source/vm/Makefile
! Disabled hbvmall for dos build because of thid djgpp error:
