• no-gui compile linux apps

    From vjp2.at@at.BioStrategist.dot.dot.co@21:1/5 to All on Tue Mar 7 22:20:46 2023
    My plain text dialup shell ISP has several linux packages insalled under bash on
    BSD but without GUI.

    I am led to beliieve all it takes is a small "switch" (ie / or --) during compilation?

    I am not familiar with Make files, but I have used copilers, linkers and loaders for five decades,starting with mi=ainframes, and mostly with MSDOS compilers (Microsoft and Watcom).

    Specifically I want to create non-GUI MSDOS versions or R,Maxima and Octave to run on MSDOS machines (new and old).

    Please advise.

    I don't think I understand what you are asking here. Are you asking
    whether you could easily compile those programs with DJGPP? I very
    much doubt it is as easy as running the Make command, since some
    source-level changes are almost certainly needed to get them compiled
    with DJGPP.
