Scitech distribute a book about MGL together with CDROM that
contains MGL 4.x and a lot of examples and additional libraries. It
contains stripped version 2.01 of DJGPP with GCC 2.8.1 and other
utilities. For more see at their site.
BTW, last released version of MGL (4.05, not 4.1alpha) has various
bugs in DJGPP port. For example, the problems with the banks not getting
mapped in correctly, the problems with acceleration engine for the
several accelerators, and the problems in the MVision classes.
Kendall Bennet (an author of MGL) thinks that they will have fixed
them in the next release. I suggest to wait when it will occur.
The next major release will have also some features like flexible keyboard
support, True Type fonts (probably), new accelerated drivers, and more
flexible initialization scheme. Also it will work under Linux and QNX
too.
