To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu Date: Fri, 5 Jun 92 8:40:30 CDT Hi, I would like to use djgpp to compile the output of f2c so that I can effectively get a free 32 bit Fortran compiler. The first problem is that I can't even get djgpp to run. I'm using a 1Meg 386 machine. Do I need to have DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS in my CONFIG.SYS file? Right now I'm using DOS 3.x, do I need to switch to DOS 5.0? When I try to compile some of the simple programs that came with the distribution there is disk activity while a swap file is opened and then everything stops. Even leaving it run overnight doesn't get me any farther. Has anyone else used djgpp and f2c? Could you share any batch files you've written and any suggestions on what I can delete from djgpp since I certainly don't need the whole djgpp distribution just to compile Fortran programs. Thanks!
