Build Open Watcom DosBox crash

  So I decided to play around with the build engine source code in DosBox. I downloaded kenbuild.zip, installed Open Watcom 1.8 for DOS, and compiled the engine.
  Now, when I start build.exe, I can work in 2D mode, but as soon as I enter 3D mode, DosBox crashes, game.exe doesn't work either.
  The errors I get from DosBox are related to illegal memory writes. Anybody know why this happens?

  Re: Build Open Watcom DosBox crash

  try the latest build of dosbox then file a bug report if it still happens?

  Maybe try an older version of Watcom.
  I have used Watcom for a long time now and with every new release I revert back to 1.5 and sometimes older due to all sorts of crashes and compile errors I get.
