Hello,

I had great luck with this.  Assuming you are on a windows os, you can
ignore most of what is available for download on the mirror sites.  If
you are on a Linux, or Unix system you need all that jazz.

Oklahoma State ftp.ou.edu With the initial directory
/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/
has the latest greatest djgpp.


Got www.delorie.com and use the "ZIP-PICKER".  The zip-picker is an
online series of questions that match to a database of system
requirements.  It will tell you which files to get.

I run WinNT, the files I needed were:

******************************************************************************

  www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.cgi                            search
                       DJGPP Zip File Picker Results

FTP Site: ftp://ftp.ou.edu/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/

Note: Don't install djgpp in /dev as djgpp treats that directory
specially.

Note: If your FTP site doesn't have the selected files, please choose
another one, like ftp.simtel.net

Note: If you are using Windows 95/98, please check the file djgpp.env to
make sure LFN is set to Y and not N, and make sure you use an unzip
program
that supports Win95 long file names, like winzip.

Note: Do not install DJGPP in a directory that requires long file name
support (i.e. no spaces, 8.3 characters)

Note: The FAQ has information on adjusting the registry so that one
installation works with both long and short filenames (Win 95/98/NT and
DOS)

Note: To view online documentation and help, run the "info" program.

Note: RHIDE has an online help viewer also.

Note: Start RHIDE in the directory with your sources, so that it puts
the
.exe there also.

Note: In RHIDE, press F1 twice to get help on help

Note: Use gxx (or append -lstdcx to your gcc command line) to compile
and
link C++ programs (*.cc)

Note: If you get errors about cout, iostream.h, streambuf.h, or
libiostream.a, please read the FAQ

Note: Append -lobjc to your gcc command line to link Objective-C
programs

Note: You need to build Allegro before you can use it. Use "make"

Read the file README.1ST before you do anything else with DJGPP! It has
important installation and usage instructions.

Installation Instructions for win98

Use Explorer to create a folder for DJGPP. My Computer, Drive C,
File->New->Folder, "DJGPP".

Use winzip to unzip all the zips you downloaded into the C:\DJGPP
folder.
Don't unzip them each into separate folders - unzip them all to the same
place.

In the Start menu, pick Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools ->
System
Information. Then, in the Tools menu, pick System Configuration; there
is a
tab there that you can use to edit your Autoexec.bat to include the
following lines:

set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%
set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

Note that the PATH statement should follow any other PATH statements, or
you may edit an existing PATH statement.

You'll need to restart your computer for these changes to take effect.

*****************************************************************************

Be Aware:  There is a problem with rsxdj151.zip, it has a bad file on it
(rsxio32.dll), but it is being worked on at the moment and should be
updated soon.


I hope this helps.
