dos / win32 cross platform development environment in Windows 10 or higher.
Now, This system supports building DOS programs even in a Linux environment.

The purpose of this system is to make an app that works easily and conveniently in DOS.
There are Watcom C / C ++ and Trubo C ++ that allow DOS programs to be created.
However, I think that creating programs with DOS-style coding style is going to reverse the times.
WIN32 / DOS Programming complete system allows you to use the C/C++ language
while developing with Visual Studio, the most powerful IDE on the Windows operating system.
Of course, there are some limitations, but if you are able to create DOS programs with the latest methods
and if DOS programs come out one by one, I think DOS will continue to maintain its vitality.
- Create programs that run on WIN32 and DOS as one source
- Program development with Visual Studio 2019
- Visual Studio 2019 enables proactive debugging and app tuning
- Create DOS binaries via DJGPP and test your app with DOSBox
If you are familiar with programming, you do not have to worry about the DOS platform. and You can easily create a DOS program.
- There are a few sample sources in the system, and we will continue to add samples in the future.
| PROJECT | WIN32 | DOS |
|---|---|---|
| HELLO WORLD | 100% | 100% |
| PONG | 100% | 100% |
| RA2 | 100% | 100% |
| TETRIS | 100% | Resolution problem |
| EAGLE GUI | 100% | Resolution problem |
| BOAT RAGE | Executable | problem |
| STRIKER | Logic Bug | Resolution problem |
| SHOOTER | 100% | 100% |
| SKATER | 100% | 100% |
| TBENGINE | 100% | Resolution problem |
| DONKEY | 100% | Resolution problem |
| CHESS | BUG | problem |
| TANK | 100% | |
| HORACIO | 100% | |
| WINADV | 100% | |
| FOX RANGER | 100% | 100% |
We have outlined the WIN32 / DOS programming complete system. So this system may not be feeling well yet. Let's take a look at some examples before we explain how to use them.
- Program development with visual studio
- You can find dos_dev solution file in msvc15/build folder
- Build and Run
- Bug fixes and debugging as much as possible in WIN32
After completing this test, we will now create the DOS binary.
- you must download djgpp build system. you can find djgpp.rar in github release tab.
- extract djgpp.rar and copy it to source code folder
- execute djgpp.bat and you will see cmd shell.
- move to source code folder, for example 1_helloworld folder then enter make.
- Final check through DOSBox.
- execute dosbox.bat
cd sample/1_hell~1
make
- wsl2, ubuntu 20.04 LTS tested
- execute below command
. setenv
cd sample/1_helloworld
make
copy cwsdpmi.exe to folder to execute another sample. you can find it in 1_helloworld folder.
If you've been to this point, I think you understand the concept of this system. If you are interested in creating a DOS program, believe it and try it out. Please do not worry if you are in trouble, we can help you anytime.
