Long filenames are not supported on NT, because the binaries run in DOS-DPMI mode. You can recompile the sources (g77src.zip + gccsrc1..3.zip) with adding the -Zwin32 switch in order to get Win32-console Apps. Maybe i'll provide these binaires in the next release of g77. Because of my experiences with emx (under OS/2), i would prefer the RSX-compiler. Nevertheless, cygnus seems to be the mainstream gcc implementation on Win32. > > Any information greatly appreciated. > > Allen Cogbill > Los Alamos National Lab > ahc AT lanl DOT gov > - > For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to > "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help". -- Michael Holzapfel -------------------------------------------------------- Institut fuer Maschinenelemente und Maschinengestaltung RWTH-Aachen Tel. 0049-(0)-241-805661 Fax 0049-(0)-241-8888256 Email michael AT ime DOT rwth-aachen DOT de WWW http://www.ime.rwth-aachen.de/~michael/index.html -------------------------------------------------------- - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
