sQLux has gained Windows support for those that way inclined although still buggy it WILL eat your files (I haven't tracked down the bug yet)
Code: Select all
Y:\OneDrive\Work\sQLux>sqlux.exe
problem, stat failed : No such file or directory
Using Config: sqlux.ini
- MountPoint for device WIN1_ may not be accessible
*** QL Emulator v0.50 ***
release 2018-10-28
using Minerva ROM
Patching Boot Device mdv1 at 0x83ca
Video Driver windows xres 1920 yres 1080
exiting UQLX: Kill_UQLX 0
Basic instructions how to build using mingw32 are in the README.md

As part of making this work I cleaned up a lot of incorrect variable types and function definitions so unix version hopefully compiles clean now!

It no longer eats files, I forgot about windows and its bloomin CR/LF mangling in binary files!

I forgot (because I havent used win32 API for years), that when you open a file you must use O_BINARY to get normal behaviour, otherwise its puts a LF after every CR in the file. Which doesnt do binary files much good!

Ah, the posix CRT API, I see. Never really used that one, Win32 itself is sane in such regards, fortunately.

Hi,
I downloaded the new Windows emulator which ran okay on Linux under Wine...

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.
