I noticed some others were having problems with this, but wasn't able
to figure out how to solve this from some of the other posts I read.
Is there a 'how to' or something on getting configure to work well
with djgpp?

I did try pulling down source for bash from djgpp and configure works
when I attempt to build that.  I'm hoping I have all the tools and
libraries I need to use ./configure, make, make install process on
djgpp. I downloaded bash, text utils, file utils, gawk and several
other files and placed in djgpp directory.  When I try to make a
program that's from outside the djgpp archive like diffh or sox, I get
the following error message:

bash-2.04$ ./configure
configure: loading site script c:/djgpp/share/config.site
configure: loading cache /dev/null
./configure: .: /dev/null: not a regular file

See `config.log' for more details.

What are the tricks for getting configure working with Open Source
apps in djgpp?  Any help appreciated.

Wanted to try to build some cross-platform Open Source applications in
djgpp to test out on FreeDOS.  I'm building on a Windows XP machine at
the moment and set the long file names in regedit as mentioned in the
FAQ.  Am using 7za to get the source files from the tarballs.  So far,
the only cross-platforms applications I've had any luck with only use
makefiles.  Help in figuring what tweaks to make to applications
with ./configure files would be very much appreciated.  I'm trying to
put together bash build scripts of all the tweaks I have to make to
get various Open Source applications to build (sort of like the
slackbuild scripts on Linux).  Hoping to eventually get some useful
applications to compile and be able to share how to build them (if I
can get them building).  Would be very interested in tips and tricks
and suggestions from others who have done or are doing something like
this.

Thanks.

Sincerely,
Laura
