But I think there's no problem to copy (or move) cpp from %DJDIR%/lib/gcc-lib/djgpp/2.81/ to %DJDIR%/bin (it should work without any problems as gcc searches path for executables if looking in previous directories fails). But I don't like an idea to move it there in distribution archives. We'll not be able to keep multitiple versions of gcc (e.g 2.8.1 and next version of pgcc when DJGPP port will be released) at least without additional copying of files. One thing I forgot to mention in yesterdays message was that I also added in gcc definition to search for binaries also %DJDIR%/bin before trying current directory and DOS path. So user may have some different AS.EXE or LD.EXE in path or in currect directory and it will not be used except one not very usual situation (see gcc.info about MD_EXEC_PREFIX). However I don't recommend doing this, of course. Andris
