The fact that cpp IS in my path :)
There was mention in the FAQ about an envvar "COMPILER_PATH" - my djgpp.env
doesn't have one. What I don't know is where this entry should go, what it
should look like, .. what I did that it isn't there to begin with?

Sorry for wasting time, I'm sure these are beginner questions.
(to the poster who asked, no, hello.c will not compile. nothing will, as gcc
needs to preprocess everything first and can't find it)

Thanks,
