Okay, so this dude told me that it's CPU-specific. If I really find it's too hard, I might just try to compile it statically and run it with qemu-user.

good luck o7

It's always a good idea to build it on a supported platform first before trying to port it.

Ah yes, great warnings

#

Okay, I indeed am able to compile it, but dosemu doesn't do anything interesting if I don't also compile fdpp. Gonna fix that

#

Well, Nix doesn't have fdpp as a package, so unfortunately we need to build it from source

#

Okay, so I don't want to deal with Android NDK. I'm going to compile dosemu with cosmocc instead. We'll eventually be able to run it in Termux anyways

#

I've passed the configure stage, now porting offically starts. The first problem occurs fairly quickly:

Some progress: the compiler actually compiled something

mellow dome good luck o7

Uh, this is way harder than I thought. Should I delete this post and pretend nothing happened?

#

you still got plenty of time left

#

i think the world reccord for not eating is 60ish days iirc

#

uuuuh

#

yea just deleate this

proud basin Apr 20, 2024, 6:04 AM

#

I admit that's my skill issue

mellow dome Apr 20, 2024, 6:04 AM

#

lmao its fine, this stuff is hard

#

i certianly couldent do it

proud basin Apr 20, 2024, 6:06 AM

#

I watched Andreas Kling's video, saw he doing porting smoothly and naively thought that I could do the same thing

mellow dome Apr 20, 2024, 6:07 AM

#

yea the pros all make it look easy

#

what was your plan first? what were ya doing?

proud basin Apr 20, 2024, 6:08 AM

#

this?

mellow dome Apr 20, 2024, 6:10 AM

#

oh i ment how were you planning on doing it

proud basin Apr 20, 2024, 6:11 AM

#

Basically compile it with cosmocc and later run the compiled binary directly in Termux

#

Cosmopolitan is a magical project done by Justine Tunney. Basically you compile your program once and the binary automatically runs on several Operating Systems. I have no idea about how it works

#

mellow dome oh i ment how were you planning on doing it

Anyway, I think I'm deleting this soon and accept I'm a loser for now lmao

nonono

#

keep trying!

#

the best way to improve your skills is to try for something just outside what you know you can do
