I'll help however I can. The problem I'm having is launching Rawhide. DJGPP tells me the DJDIR variable is not set and that it is a fatal error. I have the DJGPP env set,as well as adding djgpp\bin to my path. -----Original Message----- From: Charles Sandmann [mailto:sandmann AT clio DOT rice DOT edu] Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 5:34 PM To: djgpp AT delorie DOT com Subject: Re: RE: DJGPP and Windows 2000 > I've been having problems getting DJGPP installed / configured under Windows > 2000.

Here's some hints/workarounds: 1) NTVDM crashes if you nest DJGPP images (make/gcc/cc1). Workaround 1 is to use the CVS version of DJGPP library and rebuild everything. Workaround 2 is to patch the NTVDM.EXE on your system. See ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntvdmpat.zip If you own the system I highly recommend patching NTVDM. 2) Many bugs in the long file name support. A quick workaround is to set lfn=n if something doesn't work right. Example: rename to the same name library call fails (strip/ar fail). Touch fails. You can always set it back via lfn= ... 3) Sometimes you may see crashes with descriptor limits 0x7xxxxxxx - this is the wrap bug. You can patch an image built with DJGPP V2.03 to fix this using ftp://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/ntsbrkpat.zip If you would like to help testing, bug fixes and support we'd love another helping hand.
