Hi,

Was this eng3d017.zip or eng3d018.zip? Anyways, I'm having issues with
Google Pages and Firefox (go figure), so I'm uploading Gautier's
latest here (newer than above two previously mentioned) for you,
Andris (although I can also e-mail to you directly if you prefer):

http://www.geocities.com/snoopimeanie/eng3d018.zip           (886k

Obsolete options as in "-m486"? Sounds like you're using the old 0.17
engine, not 0.18. I downloaded your 4.3.3 (ADA-, GCC-) and installed
with DJDEV204 and BNU219B and ran MAKE_IT.BAT, and it compiled okay
(Vista Home Premium SP1 w/ registry hack). I even tested it under
DOSBox. Of course, this is all with the latest (March 14, 2009)
release of Engine 3D 0.18 (see Geocities link above). 0.17 was from
2005 and had some undetected quirks that the old compiler didn't catch
but newer GCC 4.x ones do.

I guess you are directing this towards Gautier since I don't use /
grok Linux at all. I still (naively?) think WATT-32 could work.
