I'm a new DJGPP user.   I've tired to solve this problem, but I'm
totally stuck.  I hope someone can answer help.  I've seen some of these
questions before, but nobody has ever answered them clearly enough for
me.

Basically I get the cannot find "streambuf.h: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)", and I cant figure out why or how to fix it.

#1.  I went to the DJGPP zip picker and downloaded all the files it said
for c, c++, RHIDE, and ALLEGRO for windows,95,NT.

#2.  I unziped it all with WinZip6.3 into the C:\DJGPP\ directory.  This
correctly perserved the long file names just fine.

#3.  I set my enviorment variables.  (in WinNT I set the system
enviorment) and tested their values with the echo command as follows.

C:\>echo %path%
C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;c:\jdk1.1.5\bin;C:\MSDEVSTD\BIN;C:\DJGPP\BIN
C:\>echo %djgpp%
C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV

I even restarted my computer afterwords.

#4.  I wrote the hello world C++ version  "hello.cc"

#include <iostream.h>
int main(){
  cout<<"Hello World\n";
  return 0;
}

#5 I tried to compile it by typing "C:\gxx hello.cc".

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

This didn't work because my computer couldn't find the gxx.exe file.  I
used the FIND FILES or FOLDERS and I couldn't find the any where on my
HardDrive.  I couldn't find gxx.exe in any of the ZIPs I downloaded.  I
only was able to find "gxx.exe" in "gcc272b.zip" which was not include
in the list from zip picker.  "gxx.exe" is NOT in gcc280b.zip.

#6.  Next I tried to compile it with g++ and gcc and gcc -lstdc.  Both
ways give me the error

g++ hello.cc,   gcc hello.cc,   gcc -lstdc hello.cc   all give the
following error:

"In file included from hello.cc:1:
c:/djgpp/lang/cxx/iostream.h:31: streambuf.h: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)"

I did a FIND FILES or FOLDERS and I can see there is a "streambuff.h"
file in the same directory as the "iostream.h".  Why would DJGPP be able
to find iostream.h and not streambuff.h??

#7 Here is the gcc -v -lstdc hello.cc output.

WHY DOESN'T DJGPP have a SELF-INSTALLING program!?!
WHY DOESN'T DJGPP have a COMPLETE MINIMAL DOWNLOAD file that has all the
files requiered to run DJGPP in one download?

Thanks
