The original configure scripts won't run on DJGPP platforms without some minor trickery. Usually, a batch file or a shell script which does that trickery and then invokes ./configure is the way to make things configure and build for DJGPP users. I would expect some README file in the source distribution to explain the necessary steps. > checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c BAD idea. set INSTALL=${DJDIR}/bin/ginstall -c before running the script, so that the right install program is used when you later say "make install". > checking for working aclocal... found > checking for working autoconf... found > checking for working automake... found > checking for working autoheader... found These are probably bogus (do you really have Automake installed?), since the ported Bash causes parenthesized commands to always return a zero status, even if they actually failed. To get these tests to return a correct result, some simple editing of the configure script is required (remove the parens around the commands and replace them with the `command`-style forms). > checking for gcc... no > checking for cc... no > configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH You need to set PATH_SEPARATOR=: and PATH_EXPAND=y before running the script; then it will work. The script relies heavily on the fact that directories in PATH are separated by colons, not semi-colons as usual on MS-DOS/MS-Windows. > The DJGPP executable is available at > ftp://ftp.gnuplot.vt.edu/pub/gnuplot. Thanks for the info.
