Read Me Third: The Short DJGPP FAQ List
Most Frequently Asked Questions in comp.os.msdos.djgpp
By Damian Yerrick

Because many people do not have time to browse through the whole 200-
page DJGPP FAQ list, I created this extremely condensed version based
on the most common DJGPP questions on c.o.m.d and c.o.m.p.
Read the original at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/
Read the latest short FAQ at
    http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yerricde/minifaq.txt

To be included in this list, a question must be related to DJGPP and
discussed in at least five separate threads in comp.os.msdos.djgpp
and/or comp.os.msdos.programmer. If a question is also answered in the
full FAQ, these five questions must have come within five weeks.


 1. Why DJGPP?
 2. Location of Info-ZIP
 3. I know C++. How do I enter my code into DJGPP?
 4. C++: linker "cannot open -lstdcx"
 5. Long file names
 6. How do I do (graphics)? How do I do (sound)? What is "spilled"?
 7. What is DPMI?
 8. How do I make a GUI?
 9. Help!


Answers to questions 1-8 can be found at
     http://www.rose-hulman.edu/~yerricde/minifaq.txt


Q: My program doesn't work. Can someone on c.o.m.d help?

A: The general consensus is that we'll help if you provide these five
things:

1. Version number of DJGPP, gcc, binutils, and any add-ons
   (Allegro, RSXNTDJ, etc.) you are using.
2. Your operating system (DOS? Sin95? 98? NT?)
3. The smallest source code fragment that produces the error.
4. The command line you are using to make the program.
5. The exact error messages you get, either the error output from GCC
   (if you can't compile) or the output from symify.exe if there is a
   list of traceback EIPs (that is, if your program crashes at
   runtime).

Otherwise, we're not psychics. :-)


If you have any questions or comments, post them at
comp.os.msdos.djgpp *or* mail them to djgpp AT delorie DOT com; if they're
the most frequently asked, they may become part of this short FAQ
list.
