Dbug, just to let you know: Wine (in Linux) doesn't seem to like OSDK. It will only run Win32 programs, and as I understand it OSDK has a few DOS apps in there, which seems to be the problem.

I would, but Dosbox won't run Win32 apps, and there are some of those in OSDK too, IIRC. Kind of a catch 22 there

Nevermind though. There are other assemblers. I managed to get Tape Header Creator working with Wine (at least I got it started, don't know if it will crash when I try to do something with it) so I can assemble a file with DASM (I've been looking at ca65 but it's way too complicated to learn for my small projects) and turn it into a .tap with THC.

Ok, I managed to get a fully working version of the OSDK under Wine.
The only problem came from the only part I didn't recompiled myself, called "TR.EXE" that for some reason was crashing wine...

So well I rewrote this program, and now it work, so I guess I will soon be able to do a new version that is compatible with Wine, with additional documentation on how to install and configure it, and seriously now considering how it work I do not ever see the point to do a native port to linux

Now my big problem is Euphoric.

Does it look possible to get the dos version of Euphoric (that used a dos extender for getting 32 bits flat mode access) to run under Wine ?

I could of course use XEuphoric, but no... I NEED the debugger.

Can anyone help me running Euphoric under linux ?

It would be way simpler to recompile everything in linux... plus we could finally use makefiles instead of .bat braindeadness (Yes you can even use them in windows with Cygwin )
For the tape headers I wrote a similar tool for LUnix that should build in linux.
As for Euphoric, there are other emulators out there, maybe QEmu ?
Hopefully it will merge with XEuphoric someday.

Well we can agree on the fact that we disagree on the fact that makefile are better than batch file. I personaly highly despise makefiles.

Now, about the "would be way simpler to recompiler everything in linux", I don't really consider it would be simpler. First because not everything is directly portable, and second because my whole batch file system is not portable by definition.

I prefer to update one single package, being sure that it actually work fine under Wine, than trying to keep in sync two packages. I already got people that offered to create/maintain a Linux version (three of them so far) but the fact is that they are not there anymore.

Considering Euphoric vs Other, there is no other Oric Emulator with a built-in debogger. And for a SDK it's a major feature.

DBug: I'm still here

mmu_man: For euphoric, dosbox is the best solution! Or Oricutron work great! (and Oricutron have a debugguer!) what is missing from all the emulator is a way to debug C code, but, this won't be easy to implement.

Hum, just found that I answered a bot.. Crap!
