Is the djgpp\bin directory in your : path? If you are having to type a full file path to run make, eg. : c:\djgpp\bin\make.exe, then you have it set up wrong. : Eli: I was just about to suggest that he go read the FAQ, but upon : trying to find the relevant section number, I discovered that there : doesn't seem to be any reference to putting the bin dir in your path! Am : I just hopelessly incompetent and looking in the wrong place, or is this : info truly absent? (as if there's _anything_ that isn't in the FAQ : somewhere :-) It *is* in README.1ST, of course - which the FAQ points to. I think if the FAQ had a section on setting up DJGPP itself it would be almost an exact copy of README.1ST, which people should have anyway. If we sat a monkey down for an infinite time, do you think he would be able to produce all the information in the FAQ? Hmm... doubt it. -- George Foot Merton College, Oxford.
