Hi,

I have a makefile for djgpp that tries to invoke "cpp" to
transform assembly files (".s") into something else (".i")
before assembling them with "as", see below:

*** makefile fragment ***

STD_CPP_DEFINES = -DSYSV -DSYSV386
AS = as
CPP = cpp $(STD_CPP_DEFINES)

.s.o:
	$(CPP) $*.s >$*.i
	$(AS) -o $*.o $*.i

*** end of makefile fragment ***

However, I don't have "cpp" and I have no idea what it is
(preprocessor?). Does somebody know what this "cpp" is,
what it is trying to do and where I can get it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Clemens
