Re: [Dev-C++] mouse programming in DOS with assemly

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Sorry, the MinGW compiler used by Dev-C++ can't do MS-DOS applications. It
generates 32-bit Windows applications (command line, graphical or
servies).

The djgpp port of gcc can be used to write 32-bit extended MS-DOS
applications but thease are also using protected mode where the
application can't directly access the hardware.

For using 16-bit assembler access of the hardware you shouold continue
with old TurboC or similar.

By the way - why do you want to access the mouse using assembler? The
mouse is a slow input device, so there are no speed issues requiring
assembler instructions. Optimized assember can result in a smaller memory
footprint but the world have since quite some time moved away from the
640kB restrictions of MS-DOS and the mouse handling isn't directly a large
part of the memory requirements for a 32-bit application.
