Hello everyone,

I have a Pentium-4 running Linux Kernel 2.4.18.
I have a need to create Executables to run on a DOS/Windows System.
I therefore thought that the Linux-x-djgpp Cross Compiler System would
be perfect for me.

I followed the procedure described in Building a Linux-x-djgpp Cross Compiler
   www.delorie.com/howto/djgpp/linux-x-djgpp.html.

I specifically only downloaded and unziped the file djcrx203.zip.

It went perfect and I was able to create and run successfullly a little
HelloWorld program.
I then attempted to assemble my actual program, which uses ncurses, doing the
following command:
   dos-gcc program.c -lncurses

I got alot of error messages relating to header files missing:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
program.c:27:24: sys/socket.h: No such file or directory
program.c:29:23: arpa/inet.h: No such file or directory
program.c:30:19: netdb.h: No such file or directory
program.c:33:64: curses.h: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------

While searching on the Internet, I came across items that mentioned that this
was caused by a variable DJGPP not having been set correctly to point to a 
file called djgpp.env.

In the Cross Compiler doc there was no mention of this Variable or this file.

I found the file in the djdev203.zip file.

There was no mention that I needed to download this file.

If this is needed could someone please tell em where I should place it.
Should it be in the same place as I put the djcrx203.zip file?

I noticed that there are directories called include in both files.
If I place both files in the same place, will the two sets of include 
directories overlay each other?

All the examples that I see on the internet show how to set this variable
up for running under DOS.

Could someone tell me what I have to do in order to properly point this
variable under Linux?

Any help that someone would give me to get DJGPP to run successfully
on my System with ncurses would be greatly appreciated.

Yours truly,

Frank Krauss
