Could someone help me please?


I'm trying to install DJGPP on Windows 98 second edition.

I unzipped the files

djdev203.zip
bnu281b.zip
csdpmi4b.zip
gcc2952b.zip
gpp2952b.zip
mak377b.zip
mak377d.zip
txi312b.zip
faq211b.zip

in a folder called DJGPP on drive C, preserving the directory structure
and long file names (overwriting the file cxxfilt.exe), then added the
line

set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\djgpp.env

to my AUTOEXEC.BAT and modified the line

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND

in my AUTOEXEC.BAT to

set PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\DJGPP\bin .


When I try to compile anything with

C:\DJGPP\sources>gcc test.c -v -o test.exe

the compiler reports

gcc version 2.7.2.1.f.1
 cpp -lang-c -v -undef -D__GNUC__=2 -D__GNUC_MINOR__=7 -D__32BIT__
-D__EMX__ -Di
386 -D__32BIT__ -D__EMX__ -D__i386__ -D__i386 -Asystem(unix)
-Asystem(emx) -Acpu
(i386) -Amachine(i386) test.c C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\cca00002
GCC.EXE: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': No such file or
directory

I looked at the FAQ's and, as recommended there, at the file
problems.txt and the capture Installation in info gcc, but didn't find
anything helpful.


When I try to compile a file with a long file name the compiler reports

C:\DJGPP\sources>gcc permutations.c -v -o test2.exe
GCC.EXE: permutations.c: No such file or directory
gcc version 2.7.2.1.f.1

It's very important to me, that it understands long file names, because
I must compile a project with very many long file names.


Thanks very much.
