WINS(B)

I was fiddling around my toolchain.
Man, what a mess! but I´ve gathered some interesting information there:

in order to build for the emulator, my toolchain (WINSB, SDK 1.2B)
uses just a few borland tools: BCC32 and ILINK32 - wich are freely available on the FreeCommandLineTools package, from Borland. And it seems to work with WINE.

Also, some libs from Plataform SDK are needed. Does MS offer it for free download?

I guess that Perl commandos mantain its forms under linux, right? so , to make it work in linux, I just have to make these borland tools , the plataform SDK and the SDK libs available for the build scripts.

I also got the sequence of ABLD commands my IDE do for my project. BCB outputs the information from ABLD. it was under my face all the time.

now, I just have to install WINE on my linux (debian is finally working!)
and set both SDK and tools on some apropriate folders.


one next step would be adapt the scripts to use linux´s gcc ,with cross-compiling flags set to windows output. Then , the perfect WINS tool chain would be ready.

I guess the same steps apply to ARMI. I guess the hardest thing regarding ARMI is picking the right ABI. There is Series 60 1.0 gcc source code available?
