The latest binaries should be dated 22 October 1998. Please download the latest GCC distribution and see if that solves the problem. > Please also note that the same executables works fine both with LFN=y and > LFN=y with DJGPP 2.01. Are you sure? How exactly did you test this? I cannot think of any way that v2.02 could break GCC. My guess about LFN was based on a hunch that you have used v2.01 with LFN disabled, since djgpp.env from v2.01 disables it. The only file, except djgpp.env, that GCC reads and that comes with djdev202 is lib/specs, and you already tried to rename it. You also tried to rename djgpp.env. So I don't understand how can the same binary (gcc.exe) under the same circumstances (LFN=y) sometimes crash and sometimes not, depending on whether it's v2.01 or v2.02, when all files that can affect it were tested one by one and proved to be not the reason. Anybody? Maybe if you explain how exactly did you switch from v2.01 to v2.02 and back while testing this problem, somebody could come up with an idea? > Eli: i think this problem/bug is not specific to my pc config... > but if you think it is, i can specify my pc config both software > and hardware (remeber i use Ms-Win98 4.10.1998 of 15th May 1998, > italian version). Right now, it is more important to understand what is the cause of the crash. Only then we could decide whether the version of your OS is relevant.
