This is to announce that the DJGPP port of version 3.79.1 of the
GNU Make package is available from SimTel.NET mirrors worldwide:
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak3791b.zip
ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/mak3791s.zip
Make is a program for building other programs, given a description of
the dependencies between the files.
This is a minor bugfix release. The only two bugfixes that are worth
mentioning here are:
- Make no longer crashes on Windows 9X if the program it ran triggered
an FP exception (e.g., by division by zero). This problem is caused
by a bug in Windows, whereby the FP exception is delivered to the
parent program instead of the child. With this release, Make will
print "Floating-point exception" and continue as usual.
- You can now reliably install the distribution after building it in a
directory other than the default %DJDIR%.
The package also includes the *.dsm files for use by the zippo project.
People who use zippo or work on it are encouraged to check this out and
send in comments.
See the file NEWS in the distribution for user-visible changes.
Please direct any further discussions about this port to
comp.os.msdos.djgpp news group (or write to its e-mail gateway
djgpp AT delorie DOT com).
Enjoy.
