Has anyone successfuly compiled dxe2gen using the DJGPP 2.0.4 binaries on
Windows 2000? (if so, I would like to have a download site ;-)
 I think there could be a small conflict here...

The source code compiles fine. Object files are created without a problem,
which means the basic code follows the rules and all the needed
headers/defines exist.

But when the makefile tries to link the executable together, I immediately
the following error sequence:

gcc  -s -o dxe2gen.exe dxe2gen.o -lstdcx
dxe2gen.o(.text+0xc80):dxe2gen.cpp: undefined reference to `operator

Now I have seen this error ONCE before, when I tried to compile the Coin
DIME (DXF) library. It officially supports DJGPP. But the author could not
explain this problem, either.

The plot thickens: I looked at all the "dxe2gen" source code and the token
"operator" isn't even anywhere in the code! Does this mean one of the
clio.rice.edu libraries might be messed up? Or maybe a known function from
the source code is being called in an incorrect fassion?

curious.
