csol (DOS version)

A port of csol for DOS.

Can be compiled using:

Compiling using DOSBox

Download and unpack the csol-dos sources
Create a lib directory in the root of the source tree
Download the PDCurses source from https://github.com/wmcbrine/PDCurses/releases and unpack to lib/pdcurses
Download the installer for Open Watcom C/C++ for DOS from http://www.openwatcom.org/download.php into the lib directory
Start dosbox in the root of the csol-dos source tree (e.g. run dosbox .)
Go to the directory containing the Open Watcom installer: cd lib
Run the installer, e.g. open-w~1.exe
When asked for the install path, type C:\LIB\WATCOM
Finish the installation using the default settings.

The installer creates an AUTOEXEC.BAT file that sets up the correct environment. It should look like this:

  PATH C:\LIB\WATCOM\BINW;%PATH%;
  SET INCLUDE=C:\LIB\WATCOM\H;
  SET WATCOM=C:\LIB\WATCOM
  SET EDPATH=C:\LIB\WATCOM\EDDAT
  SET WIPFC=C:\LIB\WATCOM\WIPFC

Run it: ..\AUTOEXEC.BAT
Then go to the directory containing the DOS makefiles for PDCurses: CD PDCURSES\DOS
Compile PDCurses: wmake -f Makefile.wcc
Go back to the root of the csol-dos source tree: cd \
Compile csol: wmake
You can now run csol from the current directory: csol
