It should work, but I don’t have a 32bit os for testing.

*shakes fist at BSD sockets interface for over using the int type*

For those who don't use Linux at all, I've added build instructions for native windows builds in the README.md

Hi everyone, I'm sure this has been asked before. Is there an easy way to get my floppy drive to be recognized as FLP1_? I have it attached via a straight cable to the tetroid disc interface and it is only accessible as FLP2_. Thanking you, Mark Depending on the drive, as easy as opening it and mov...

So we are getting vbcc for QL out of this too? Not from me, sorry. :) And to my knowledge Frank is not looking into it either. But whoever picks up that challenge is one step closer now to have something "production ready". At this point I think it's only some libc support is missing, as ...

So here is a fixed version of mdvtool compiled for windows (64bit)

Ive just sent a pull request to update mdvtool to newer zip API.

Also, as a heads up: on my request Frank Wille of vbcc/vlink/vasm fame actually implemented QL binaries support (both QDOS Header/XTcc header style) for Free Pascal in vlink

And networking coming to a sQLux near you soon!

Works enough now that QLirc is usable. Can't promise any of the more complex cases though as mapping BSD sockets -> WinSock2 is kind of rough.
