: Hello,

: I am trying to port a program to MS-DOS using djgpp. The program is called

: gcc compiles the program and it reports only three warnings but when I try to
: execute it I get an error message. Following is a complete list of the
: error and the code that produced it:

: Declarations:       
:  
:         int     pid;
:         int     std_in[2];
:         int     std_out[2];
:         int     status;

: The commnand tha causes the error:

:         if (pipe(std_in) != 0 || pipe(std_out) != 0) {
:             perror("pipe");
:             return 1;
:         }

: The error message:

: pipe: Unknown error 32

: Thanks in advance for any help!

: PS The include files of djgpp have definitions for pipe, fork, and wait. 

Pipe may be defined in the headers because djgpp can be configured as a
cross compiler, however, it doesn't function under Dos.
