DOS ain't dead - HX + FPC 2.2.2 == trouble

HX + FPC 2.2.2 == trouble (DOSX)

posted by post-factum , /ukraine/kyiv, 09.12.2008, 21:14

There's a trouble with running binaries under FreeDOS, which are compiled by FreePascal Compiler 2.2.2. When the binary is started to load (via TSR loader or not), it crashes. The most interesting is that fpc 2.2.0 produced binaries that run without any problem ("hello world" or some big projects - doesn`t matter).

I tried several versions of HX Runtime, old and the newest, but the result is the same. Here is a screenshot:

If I build a binary with -WR (relocateable), it hangs without any error reporting.

Is that a problem of FPC or HX and how can I fix it?
