In any case IIRC it > requires you to use the 2.02 beta library (released yesterday). I think it can already treated as beta and should be used together with 2.02. I have only some known DJGPP related problems with it: - there are problems with exceptions (also -fsjlj-exceptions seems to be broken in egcs-1.1 at all) - the problem with Novel discussed recently and fixed last update of DJGPP port of gcc-2.8.1 (some days ago). I haven't rebuilt egcs-1.1 for DJGPP since I uploaded archives in begin of September so perhaps it will be fixed when I'll do it next time. Also: I did rather many source changes before building egcs-1.1 however I included bash script that does these modifications in source archive of egcs-1.1 for DJGPP so no manual edditing is needed. > > > I think it's really pitiful that they can't even make a proper makefile for > > the DJGPP platform.

It is necessary to set some environment variables before running configure script (the same about make) for such packages as gcc, egcs and many others. > > IIRC configure scripts are awkward in DOS.

I think no one can touched configur.bat for long time so I'm afraid it's terribly outdated and broken. Andris
