Not a bad suggestion at all.

Normally for OpenWatcom V2, I decompress the executable with 7-zip. This is not possible with PellesC, but the principle is the same.

I will follow your solution.

Thank you.

Just install Pelles C to another PC and pack folder and use it other PC.
Pelles C is portable and works from USB-stick.
Sometimes have to adjust settings for INCLUDE and LIB folders.

Like "Cascadia Mono", I can't see it in font name list. But can set in theme file.
Btw: When I was translating rc file, I noticed line 3409 had still read "version 13.00".

Hi ander_cc,

For the string tables you might consider using AI.  Here is an example input and output from Gemini

You will need to be the judge of the accuracy and perhaps fix a few things here and there but this technique should be able to get you to the finish line.

General discussion / Pelles C and Windows Defender ...

Last post by italofutura - April 14, 2026, 08:22:10 AM

Hi,

I tried to install Pelles C on my employer provided Windows 11 laptop. I do not have admin rights on this laptop.

when I try to install Pelles C a smart screen  appears, but due to lack of administrator privileges, I cannot proceed.

Other software works. Is it because Pelles C binaries are not signed? If yes, why?

<complex.h> was apparently added for version 5.0, removed for version 11.0 -- see:

> As the complex.h was removed,

I am trying to compile an old project from 2016-2018, which used complex.h, and the project file tags as C99

Can anyone suggest what version I should start with appropriate to those years, and before complex.h was removed?

Alternatively, perhaps it was never in the PellesC installer, and the OG programmer got if from somewhere else?

Expert questions / Re: Link error with minhook

Last post by Pelle - April 11, 2026, 03:39:53 PM

Sorry but is it allowed to discuss about API hooking in this forum?

Like many other things, this can be used for both good and bad.
It depends on the context. So far I see nothing out of line here...
