Why should Debian politics be a barrier to its adoption by Wine?
The installer from the openwatcom downloads page (version 1.8) works
well - just stick to the official release and not the "Alternative
Distributions" at the bottom of the page, which can't cross-compile.
Then after you install it, it's a simple matter of:
export WATCOM=/path/to/install/dir
export PATH=$WATCOM/binl:$PATH
export INCLUDE=$WATCOM/h/win
export LIB=$WATCOM/lib386/win
wcc -bt=windows hello.c
wcl -l=windows hello.o
wine hello.exe
where hello.c has this:
#include <windows.h>
int PASCAL WinMain( HINSTANCE this_inst, HINSTANCE prev_inst,
LPSTR cmdline, int cmdshow )
{
MessageBox(NULL,"Hello world","Win16",MB_OK);
return 0;
}
$ file hello.exe
hello.exe: MS-DOS executable, NE for MS Windows 3.x
