If you are using a Windows-targeted version of gcc, you obviously aren't using DJGPP, and therefore our help would be of absolutely no use to you. The error messages you posted bear this out - they weren't generated by DJGPP. However, just off the top of my head, it appears that you haven't set up your compiler properly because it's not finding the standard header files that should be part of every C compiler. Look at your documentation to see what you're doing wrong! Because I have some experience with MUD servers, I might be able to help you personally (via email, not via this newsgroup). It would help if you told me EXACTLY what version of the Merc sources you are trying to compile. I have myself successfully compiled the ROM 2.3 variant of Merc in DOS using both DJGPP v1.12m4 and v2.x. However, there were a few trivial modifications that had to be made. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
