Got an unzip utility? Know your way around the DOS prompt? These two
things are pretty much essential if you want to set up DJGPP without
help, because we aren't here to give you a DOS tutorial. Please also
note that DJGPP comes with instructions, in the 'v2/readme.1st' file.
You did read it first, right? No? Well, do so. :-)
Okay, now that you've read it, I'll restate it in simple steps:
- Make a directory for your DJGPP files. I recommend C:\DJGPP, but you
can use whatever you want (*).
- Unzip the zipfiles into that directory, making sure to preserve the
directory structure. With pkunzip, you must use the '-d' switch. With
WinZip, you have to set a menu option (I don't recall which one). If
you use the free unzip386 utility from SimTel, you don't need to give it
any switches.
- Make the required changes to your autoexec.bat (see 'readme.1st').
- Reboot so that the settings take effect.
- Compile programs.
It's as simple as that. Please look at the DJGPP Frequently Asked
Questions list (v2/faq210b.zip from SimTel or online at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/) if you have any problems with these
steps. Pay particular attention to chapters 6 and 8.
Good luck!
