Hi, A strange problem here,

I have been programming in C, C++ on windows, linux, IRIX(SGI) for quite a
while (> 15 years ) and I thought I would like to try DJGPP

So, I downloaded everything and this is when problems occured...

I Have THREE machines,
1) A Windows ME system that has been hacked around for years
        DJGPP worked first time, no problems..

 2) A Windows 2000 system with Microsoft Visual Studio6 + Visual Net 7
    DJGPP worked first time, with long file names and everything.

Now for the problem machine..

This is my main machine, it is a Windows 2000 SP4, and I have added CYGWIN,
GNAT, ADAGUID, the ada GPS system
 Microsoft Visual C++ 6 and Visual NET, WIndows SDK and DirectX SDK.

DJGPP Totally refused to accept long file names, ie helloworld.cpp is failed
to be found.
Changing to hello.cpp, failed to compile, stating that various include files
( Which exist ) cannot be found.

Using gcc -v to compile, show it is attempting to access include files in
the "bits" folder that do not exist... ( I am using <iostream> )

Could it be finding a PATH to another STL installation ?
Why is GCC stating it cannot find "helloworld.cpp" ? Using ls or dir clearly
shows it exists
using windows DIR command shows everything is using LONG FILENAMES...


This was installed EXACTLY the same as the other machines.
I DE-Installed CYGWIN, and the ADA systems. No change..  I examined the
registry and even compared it to the working W2k system but found nothing..
DO NOT SAY ITS LONG FILENAME SUPPORTS!!!!!!
The system works on the the other W2K system!

Has anyone come across anything like this...


I am NOT a novice.. I have been in computing since 1974 ( Yes 74 ), I have a
deep understanding of computers and systems and currently look after about
35 machines ( LINUX, Windows NT, W2K , XP, Irix 6.5 )..
