From the zip-picker: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html This worked fine for me: ------------------------------------------------ Installation Instructions for winXP Use Explorer to create a folder for DJGPP. My Computer, Drive C, File->New->Folder, "DJGPP". Use djgpp's unzip32.exe to unzip all the zips you downloaded into the C:\DJGPP folder. Don't unzip them each into separate folders - unzip them all to the same place. The directory structure inside each zip file should be preserved, so you end up with files like c:\djgpp\bin\gcc.exe and c:\djgpp\include\stdio.h C:\> mkdir djgpp C:\> cd djgpp C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\djdev203.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\faq230b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\rhid149b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\bnu213b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\fil41b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\gcc32b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\gdb521b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\gpp32b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\mak3791b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\txi42b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\ntlfn08b.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\all402.zip C:\DJGPP> unzip32 d:\tmp\grx243s.zip Make sure you use the djgpp's unzip32, or some other unzip that doesn't support long file names. If you install with WinNT long file names, C++ programs won't compile. Another option is to use pkunzip instead (see the MS-DOS install instructions) or read the FAQ about the NameNumericTail registry key. Right-click My Computer, select Properties. Select the Advanced tab, then the Environment Variables button. Edit the Path system variable to include C:\DJGPP\BIN at the front. (If you are not an administrator, add it to the PATH variable in the User Variables section, or add a new PATH user environment variable which contains only C:DJGPPBIN) Add a new variable DJGPP set to C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV (system variable if possible, user variable if not an administrator) . You'll need to close and reopen your MS-DOS windows for these changes to take effect. Rather than edit your autoexec files and/or global environment, you may wish to create a djgpp shortcut instead. To do this, create a c:\djgpp\djgpp.bat that has lines like this: @echo off set PATH=c:\djgpp\bin;%PATH% set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env chdir c:\djgpp\mystuff (or any other directory) command (you can replace that last line with any other shell you'd like) ------------------------------------------------------------------- HTH -- Gruss Waldemar Schultz. schultz AT ma DOT tum DOT de Technische Universität München Zentrum Mathematik M1, D 85748 Garching Tel: +49 (0)89 28 91 79 36 FAX: +49 (0)89 28 91 79 32
