I am attempting to make a set of C++ sources that I downloaded from a web site. The sources use long file names all over the place. From reading the Readme.dos file for make 3.7.6.1 that gnu make supports long file names when run on Win 95 in a DOS box. However, this doesn't seem to be the case. I can go through and rename everything so that the file names are short, but do I really have to do this? I think I am missing something. By the way, I have tried this on NT as well with the same result. I have also unzipped the djgpp zip files (make, gcc, bnu, etc ) using pkunzip as well as info-zip, with identical results. I know that the LFN is the problem, because I rename a couple of the header files, and make can then find them. I have also run make and generated a trace, at it trys to find these header files but can't, even though they are right there. Sorry for the newbie question. I would appreciate any help at all.
