ooops.
ooops.
Dear Mr. Stromberg:
    Our purpose is to get an XSL processor ported to DOS (is this of any
interest to you??). Unfortunately, I wasn't aware that my posting would
constitute 'a new subject'. You see, I just posted the message where I
thought it made the most sense (next to the first message about 'version
info'. Besides, this thread was started to run off my screen.
I deeply apologize for any inconvienience that this may have caused you.

Thanks for the tip  about uninstalling. It was of practicle value for me.

NOW:
Problem solved (not bacuse I didn't uninstall correctly, though - my
compiler was fine)!!! We have a DOS port of libxslt.a - and xsltproc.exe is
up and running :-)

The real problem was THIS:
You remember that the makefile was always trying to execute
D:\\USER\\DJGPP\\BIN\\GCC.EXE
This was caused by a SYSTEM VARIABLE that I had set up:
    SET CC=D:\USER\DJGPP\BIN\GCC.EXE
I did this because I read once in one applications README that it might be
needed (Allegro maybe, can't remember..)
DON'T DO THIS. If it really is neccessary, have GCC.EXE in the path and do
THIS:
    SET CC=GCC.EXE

Symptom of this error: make tries to execute gcc through a path that
contains '\\'.
Nobody heard of it?? Sorry. New one for prosterity.

Listen, guys, for anyone who wants it (the binaries), just send me a message
in the next few days and I'll make a list... I'll send it out Monday so that
I only need to e-mail once...
The file is kinda' big... (1.7 meg big... libxslt.a is another 1.03m - I'll
zip 'em)

By the way, Mr. Sandmann...
the makefile did still try to build 'shared libraries' even though I saw
this line as the configure script was running:
"checking if libtool supports shared libraries... no"
???
But that wasn't what was causing the crash ... DJGPP just sends a warning
and keeps going with the make.
Thanks again for the help.
Ben
