WinZip has a ``feature'' whereby each of the *.zip files is unzipped into its own subdirectory; this totally disrupts the directory structure expected by the DJGPP programs. I suggest to remove the entire DJGPP directory, then download the program unzip32.exe from the same place where you found DJGPP, and then unzip the *.zip files again using unzip32.exe. To unzip with unzip32.exe, open a DOS box, change to the C:\DJGPP directory, and then type commands like these: unzip32 djdev203.zip unzip32 gcc304b.zip etc., one command for each one of the *.zip files you've downloaded. > and that a new variable DJGPP is in > C:\DJGPP\D\djdev\djgpp.env This is also wrong, this variable should point to C:\DJGPP\djgpp.env. > When I open the console, I can invoke go32-v2 > from the prompt, which tells me about available RAM but provides no swap > space. The fact that the swap space is reported as zero is normal on Windows XP (and on all other members of the NT family of Windows). Don't worry about that. > If I want to use RHIDE I have to call it using the absolute path > C:\DJGPP\rhid149b\bin\rhide > which returns an error (Bad command or file name) when I try to compile. > When I try to make a call to gcc, it also has to be started using the > absolute path > C:\DJGPP\gcc304b\bin\gcc.exe testpg.cpp > which returns this error > gcc.exe: installation problem, cannot exec 'cc1plus': No such file or > directory (ENOENT) > but I have C:\DJGPP\gpp304b\ and all its contents in place. These are all signs of unzipping with WinZip. Don't use it.
