Not sure if this goes here or in software but…
Anyways, I wanted to find a version of Gnuplot that works with an 8088, and the oldest version hosted on the SourceForge doesn’t seem to (3.7.3). I email some people, they tell me that I should rebuild my own version given the tarballs they provide or to find earlier versions hosted on other websites.
(https://www.funet.fi/index/gnu/funet/historical-funet-gnu-area-from-early-1990s/old/ is where I got version 3.2)
Now here’s the problem, I’m not entirely sure what to do. There’s a readme file that does state instructions, but I can’t seem to understand them. Can someone point me in the right direction with compiling using Borland C++ 2.0? And hopefully teach me how to do things like this should the need arise again.
“Using Borland C++ 2.0, Turbo C++ 1.0”
copy makefile.te makefile
Edit makefile to change TC, BIN, BGI, BGIOBJ. You may also want to turn
on overlays (See manual for more on overlays).
Edit linkopt.tc (linkopt.tco if overlays on) to change location of libraries.
make
