Do you really think that calling the instructions ``stupid'' will give
people motivation to help you?

The message is IMHO self-explaining: it says that gcc.exe cannot find
cpp, the pre-processor, that it needs to run as part of compilation.

Possible reasons:

  1) You didn't unzip preserving the directory structure (with
     PKUNZIP, use the -d switch).  Solution: unzip again.

  2) You didn't set the DJGPP environment variable.  Type this from
     the DOS prompt:

	 set djgpp=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env

     (If you installed DJGPP in a directory other than c:\djgpp,
     change that line accordingly.)  Then try again and see if this
     helps.

If none of the above works, add -v to the gcc command line and post
here everything that it prints.
