I have followed the discussion on http://www.bttr-software.de/forum/forum_entry.php?id=13156
started by you and I will assume that we are still talking about your fruitless
attempt to configure and compile links-1.03.tar.gz using djgpp.  I am not
subscribed to that forum and never will be, so do not expect any answer from
my side in that forum.  (I have serious doubts that a newby should choose such
a task as starting point to learn how to use djgpp.  As already pointed out by
other your installation seems to be broken.  I would seriously suggest you to
read carefully and try to understand the readme.1st file.)


I do not know what do you mean with "pure dos" but this may be another source
for the difficulties reported.  DOS is not UNIX.  I assume that you have neither
installed nor activated a long file name driver like DOSLFN.  The source tree
you are installing came from UNIX where no file name restrictions are known.
This means that your source file names are probably all upper case and also
truncated to 8.3 length.  I have not investigated this further but there are
known file names like config.h.in and Makefile.in.in that are not licit under
DOS.  How they are extracted depends on what unzip program you are using.

Here is a list of all the zip files composing my djdev203 installation I use
with MSDOS-6.22 and DOSLFN 0.41c.  With this installation the configure
script run flawlessly until it aborts because it detects that my DJGPP installation
provides no socket.h.  But that is another problem and must be solved by the
porter (aka you) and not by me.

All files are from the /current directory of ftp.delorie.com or mirrors:
   acnf259b.zip, amak194b.zip, bnu2232b.zip, bsh204br3.zip, bsn241b.zip, byacc19b.zip,
   bz2-106a.zip, bz2-106b.zip, csdpmi7b.zip, dif33br2.zip, djdev203.zip, djtzn203.zip,
   dosck11br2.zip, ed-19b.zip, faq230b.zip, fil41b.zip, flx254b.zip, fnd4233br4.zip,
   gcc473b.zip, gdb76b.zip, gdbm110br2.zip, gprf304b.zip, grep214b.zip, gro116b.zip,
   gwk410b.zip, gzip16b.zip, h2m1433b.zip, isp3301b.zip, licv112b.zip, lss444b.zip,
   m4-1415b.zip, mak381b.zip, man13b.zip, mktmp17br2.zip, pakk023b.zip, pat271b.zip,
   pcre833b.zip, pdcur34a.zip, perl588b.zip, rdln62b.zip, sed422b.zip, shl2011b.zip,
   spl312br4.zip, ssl101eb.zip, tar112ab.zip, txi413br2.zip, txt20b.zip, wat3222b.zip,
   xz-504b.zip

Please note that you certainly will not need all these files, but I do not have
the time to check what is required to configure the sources and what can be
discarded.


I have installed this in c:/djgpp-2.03, so that my environment variables in
autoexec.bat look like this:
   set DJGPP=C:/DJGPP-2.03/DJGPP.ENV
   set PATH=C:\DJGPP-2.03\BIN;%PATH%

No other variables are required to work with DJGPP.  For more information
read the readme.1st file.  If you decide to install the djgpp port of
watt32 also available as wat3222b.zip at delorie.com, you will need to set
the following variables too:

   set C_INCLUDE_PATH=C:/DJGPP-2.03/NET/WATT/INC
   set LIBRARY_PATH=C:/DJGPP-2.03/NET/WATT/LIB


Again, it is essential to have a LFN driver installed in autoexec.bat
to get the files installed in the source tree with their original file
names or you may run into difficulties.  I assume that you know how to
install DOSLFN in your autoexec.bat.  Please note that you should install
DOSLFN-0.41c or later.  Previous versions do not work with DJGPP.

I was able to configured links-1.03 flawlessly.  I configured by starting the
command like this:
   sh configure
and I got the following output:

As can be seen, the configuration aborts because my DJGPP installation
provides no socket functionality.  Most important, the configure script
finds the installed autotools.  If they are not installed at all, the
configure scripts also runs flawlessly but this time it reports

checking for working aclocal... missing
checking for working autoconf... missing
checking for working automake... missing
checking for working autoheader... missing

I have not checked with LFN support disabled.


A possible solution is:
First step:  delete your old DJGPP installation.
Second step: get DOSLFN-0.41c or later and install it on your FreeDOS
              system and make sure that it is always loaded when booting.
              I do not use FreeDOS so do not ask me anything related to this.
Third step:  get the DJGPP zip files and install them with LFN support enabled.
              and set the environment variables accordingly.
Fourth step: create some arbitrary directory outside your DJGPP installation
              where you install the links sources and try to configure it.
