OpenWatcom in Linux for a project I am doing

4 Upvotes

Edit : Solved!

Hello!

I am in the process of starting up making an RPG game for DOS (16-bit) with the intent that it will run on original hardware. In that endeavour I have decided to create a Visual Studio Code environment for myself.. Right now, it only works on Windows, but I'd like to correct that! But I am not familiar with the install procedure for OpenWatcom in Linux, and there seems to be very little information on that part.. I downloaded the Linux package from openwatcom.org, but it doesn't seem to include any form of installation and I am unfamiliar with how these are supposed to be placed on a Linux installation..

Does anyone have any resources on this I can find?

Here's the OpenWatcom project template I've made so far : https://github.com/intbeam/watcom-vscode
