I am a new user to djgpp, and have installed the cross compiler
libraries & executable on my linux box. I wrote a short test
program as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
main()
{
  struct stat s;
  
  printf("%d\n",stat("test",&s));
}

Now if I run this on the linux box the return values for stat
are correct (0 if it's there, -1 if not). But compiling with
dos_gcc and running on a win95 machine it always returns a 0.

Any answers for this?

Thanks!
