Thanks for help.
What is your platform? I guess my case is even simpler than this, as I 
can link standard c libraries and produce standard dos exe binaries, 
only the specific I/O should be done via manufacturer's library.

I simply couldn't build a DOS exe program.

Perhaps my sequence can help you out :

1) I updated the wlsystem file in the binw directory with the following 
addition:

system begin embedded8086
end

2) I then created a very simple startup (cstart.obj, modified from 
src\startup\dos) and small clib (clib88.lib).

3) To compile I do:

wcl -q -c -0 -fpc -mt -s -d0 -od -l=COM myfile.c

4) To link I do:

wlink file myfile.obj name myfile.bin @cc.lk

were cc.lk consist of:

system embedded8086
option NOCASEEXACT
option NODEFAULTLIBS
option map
option stack=1k
format dos com
libfile ...\mystartup\cstart.obj
library ...\myclib\clib88.lib

5) and finally I convert the bin file to Intel hex and upload it to my 
board.

This could well not be the correct way to do it (it would not be on some 
embedded compilers I have used). The correct way could be to get the 
code to link to an appropriate version of the standard library. The OP 
needs to find whatever support forums exist for Open Watcom, and there 
is even a link to such places in the most obvious place which is 
http://www.openwatcom.org/index.php/Main_Page which was the first hit 
Google gave for "open watcom".

Details on how specific tools work are not topical on comp.lang.c or 
comp.lang.c++

I don't know about the second reference, but _atexit() is usally a 
function that gets called when the program exits. For embedded platforms 
where the program never exits, this can be safely replaced by a dummy 
void _atexit(void) { } in your source code.

Hello,

I want to tried to use Open Watcom for programming my i188, and I have a 
couple of questions.

How do I make simple project compile? I created a project with DOS 
target ( " DOS - 16 bit executable (.exe)" ), but it doesn't see
the header files; neither mine nor standard ones.
Output looks like this:
< skip >
Error! E2028: _atexit is an undefined reference
Error! E2028: InitLib_ is an undefined reference
< skip >
The first line belongs to standard function, second one is function of 
my device's system library.

How do I contact the developers of Open Watcom?
I can see their emails through bug tracker on the site, but maybe they 
can be found on separate newsgroup or here?
