how to create simple executables
Charles Wilkins
help me.
1 ) What is required in terms of a C++ compiler / implementation to
create simple (non-gui) windows command line executables with standard
C++ code?
I am interested in those that create the best portability as well as
do a good job adhering to ISO/IEC 14882-1998.
2 ) Which of the compilers can be used to create real-mode DOS
executables?
3 ) What would be a good programmers reference that outlines the
differences between writing standard C++ programs for windows
(non-gui) versus real-mode DOS?
Thank you in advance and best regards,
Charles Wilkins

Here's a nice (free..!) compiler for DOS :

Hi Paul,
Thank you for the reply.
Does this compiler support C++ and the Standard Template Library?
If not, do you know of one that does?
Here is a clarification of what I am seeking:
I am looking for the easiest best way run my standard C++ Linux
programs (standard ISO/IEC 14882-1998) in DOS and WIN32.
Can you recommend a compiler / implementation that does the following:
can compile for real-mode DOS (like BorlandPowerPackforDOS)
can compile for win32 (like BorlandPowerPackforDOS)
includes the STL
uses new header style: #include<iostream> instead of:
#include<iostream.h>
Thank you again and best regards,
Charles Wilkins

No, & I'm sorry, I missed the '++' specification..

I'm way out of my depth here, but a quick search finds this:

Now I'd better leave this thread to people who know what they're talking
about : )

Most c++ compilers for the Windows will have no touble with this
task. For example a nice free C/C++ (GNU port) compiler for MS-Windows
can be found here:
http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/
Also the very good Borland BCC Verison 5.5 c/c++ compiler is now almost
free (you need to supply some user details) can be found here:

Are you sure you want to program for real-mode DOS? If you are
targeting the modern windows platform you can achieve the same
results using a Win32 console application.

For more information about DOS programming you might want to take
a look at:
I think it is one of the last true 32 DOS compiler still in active
development.
