Smalltalk 1.7.5, AFAICS the last version to use 'regular' memory management compiles and works fine. 2 of the tests fail, so I'll be looking into those first. As an aside, what's preferred in a DJGPP package: an extensionless script (gst-config), or one with a .sh extension (gst-config.sh)? As for Python, that seemed to go smoothly as well: configuration worked (with a few minor tweaks to configure.in); compilation also needed few patches. I expect it will need some more extensive tweaking to work properly though, as it assumes DJGPP is a Unixy environment, which is not entirely correct (though better than assuming it's Dossy). I did run into an old friend: missing pw_passwd and pw_gecos fields in struct passwd, and missing gr_passwd in struct group. Any particular objections to adding these (even though they have no real meaning on a DOS system, I suspect their presence might be required by POSIX)?
