Lately it has been noticed by users that the binaries compressed with UPX and distributed in: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bnu217b.zip can not be uncompressed. This has no influence on the way the distributed binaries work. All binaries distributed in bnu217b.zip are OK. Neitherless it is disturbing that they can not be uncompressed by UPX. I have used the original binary archive produced by Gordon Schumacher (proven to work) as it is, striped the binaries and packed it again. Now there should be no more problems with UPX compressed binaries. To clarify the issue, there are two versions of bnu217 available: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bnu217b.zip stripped and UPX compressed. ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bnu217br2.zip only stripped but not UPX compressed. Both versions work and you can choose the one you prefer. The DJGPP 2.03 binaries can be downloaded from ftp.delorie.com and mirrors as (timestamp 2008-08-29): binutils 2.17 binaries linker scripts, info and man format documentation: ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2gnu/bnu217br2.zip Send suggestions and bug reports concerning the DJGPP port to comp.os.msdos.djgpp or .
