(TeX, for > example, compiles with DJGPP out of the box.) Did you try and failed? The makefile describes most of the changes that are required. djgpp does not have the language support, and it appears that djgpp and mingw32 both need the same DBFIX setting (in contrast to cygnus gcc). Cepl AT fpm DOT cz has suggested that lout (compiled for DOS and perhaps Win32) needs a home. He's offered to test the versions that I've prepared with djgpp and mingw32. They pass the "user doc" test. If other tests are successful, I'll add these to the GNUish collection on http://www.simtel.net/simtel.net/. I have not looked at adding support for compressed PDF (requires zlib). If I'm duplicating work of others, I'd welcome a note. -- --Darrel Hankerson hankedr AT mail DOT auburn DOT edu
