I was sure that I am using v2.01, but I re-installed my `djdev201.zip' and `gcc2721b.zip', thus the new Alpha gpc-970510 should definitly (?) be v2.01.

BUT, "gpc -v" says "2.0(2.7.2.1)" and not an alpha version number. Did I install it right? I think so.

Yes, you did. I forgot to set up the alpha version number for djgpp (where it must be done manually.)

gpc2.0 (non alpha) used to work fine.

(* GPC 2.0 was compiled by Jan-Jaap, I think. ;*)

Well, gpc alpha 05/10 still says "ld: can't find djgpp.lnk"

At least I can reproduce the error now by renaming "djgpp.lnk". As a workaround, I am posting my "djgpp.lnk" below; I will try to figure out what is going on here ...

"gcc -v" reports 2.7.2.1 and works. (compiles hello.c ;) /djgpp/manifest has djdev201.mft, so I think I have djgpp v2.01.

Same holds for my system.

I only started using djgpp after 2.01 came out. Is there any other way to find out? (yes, seems like a newbie question ;)

I join you in this question.

I checked my path, and djgpp's ld.exe seems to be the one that gets executed (I also have fpk-pascal, which has an older version). Is there any way I can check version numbers (compared to what?) of these?

My BinUtils are 2.5.2 while README.1ST says that 2.7 is the current version for V2. Perhaps this is the problem?

On a side note: gpc.inf doesn't work (no top node) But gpc.inf and gpc.i1 both reference and contain a top node. I can't see why "info --file gpc.inf" complains...

gcc.inf/gcc.i1 look the same (at least in structure) and work.

Something strange happened to the GPC documentation in that binary distribution, sorry. I recompiled the info documentation on my system, and now it's fine. I will correct this error when I will upload a new binary DJGPP distribution once I will have solved that linking problem ...

According to Jan-Jaap van der Heijden:

To Peter: since this GPC is searching for this obsolete 'djgpp.lnk', I assume you are indeed using v2.0. In that case you'd better upgrade to 2.01 to stop this confusion.

I believed I did, but obviously I didn't do it right. Some hints what I should do or check?

Greetings,

Peter
