It is necessary to rewrite programs from MSVC to GCC

Sat Feb 24, 2024 8:31 pm

There is some problem that does not allow us to safely move to Git and build a Docker container. These are programs that are currently compiled using Microsoft's proprietary C++ compiler (MSVC). Which we are now forced to run from under Wine on the build server. Here is a list of these programs:

games/kosilka
games/fara
games/rforces
games/xonix
games/LaserTank
media/ac97snd

All these programs need to be rewritten either to build TCC or for GCC (probably GCC since C++ can be used there). The rewriting will probably come down to correcting assembly language inserts from MASM to GAS style.

Could it be possible to maintain an Intel syntax?
e.g.

asm(".intel_syntax noprefix\n"
"mov eax, 42 \n");

or

asm(".intel_syntax noprefix\n");
asm( "mov eax, 42");
