OFYI, I have downloaded libmtp-1.1.6.tar.gz and installed it.
I cd'ed into the libmtp-1.1.6 directory and created an arbitrary
build directory there.  Then I cd'ed into that build directory.
I am using a stock DJGPP 2.04 installation on WinXP SP3 installed
in c:/djgpp-2.04.  I experienced absolute no difficulty in trying
to configure the package.  Of course, I did not succeed because other
required libraries are not available and I have very serious doubts
that it may be possible to port them to DOS using DJGPP.
It should also be noted that I have no other installation than DJGPP.
This means there is no cygwin nor mingw installation in the path so
there is no risk that the wrong sed program is called by the configure
script.  To check what sed program is available I called it like this:
   sed --version
and I got the following output:

G:\l\LIBMTP~1.6\_build>sed --version
c:/djgpp-2.04/bin/sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2

If you do not get a sed output similar like the above something is seriously
broken with your DJGPP installation.  To configure the sources I cd'ed
into the build directory and started like this:

   sh ../configure

As told before I have serious doubts that this can be ported to DOS.
The very first thing would be to get the source package of lopenusb
and to port them to DOS using DJGPP.  I do not even know if there
is something like a open source USB driver for DOS.  That would be
necessary to know how to port the posix USB calls in the lopenusb
library to DOS equivalent DOS USB calls.  All this would be a major
project if possible at all.

Juan M. Guerrero
