  1. I created a #DOS / #DJGPP only fork of #Allegro 4.2.2 and rewrote the Makefile from scratch. Using a i586-pc-msdosdjgpp toolchain you can now easily cross compile Allegro for your DOS game development.

  2. This weekend I tried to compile #Allegro for #Win9x with #mingw.
    I was able to get the examples running on #Win10, but when I copied them over to my #Win98 box they crashed with an illegal instruction.
    That happened because mingw on #Ubuntu is targeting i686 and I have an AMD K6-II in my test rig.
    Then I tried compiling mingw myself with i386 as a target, that failed because the 386 is missing an instruction that is needed by the runtime library.
    I got it working with i486, though.
