Subject: Help porting software (linux to dos)
Reply-to: jamesl AT albany DOT net
Precedence: bulk

Anyone familiar with DOS's fdisk, and Linux's version of the 
same, must be aware that the DOS version is severely inferior. I am 
attempting to port the Linux version (under the GNU License, of 
course) to DOS so that DOS users can have a more powerful version 
available (including cfdisk!).

However, even tho the sources that I have (ver 2.6) compile fine, 
when gcc calls the linker, it apparently adds "-lc_alias" to the 
command line, and of course, can't find this file! I don't know what 
is causing this, but I would like some help here.

This is the SECOND time that I have posted regarding this problem. 
Full sources are available, for anyone who is interested, but the 
product is not yet ported - I'll email them to whoever wants them, 
tho.

Would someone _please_ help me out here? What exactly is causing 
DJGPP to look for libc_alias? Anyone?

Jim
