You mean: DJGPP binaries? Linux runs on the PC, too.

Compiling the PC binaries as in compiling the source to GPC for the DOS port.

What's that - 2.01b? The last official beta version that came with binaries was gpc-970714; after that there were some (inofficial) patches.

For me, the latest executable binaries are 2.01b, the latest sources are gpc-970714. Meaning that I can't compile the sources under DOS. I have GPC in the same directory as DJGPP. I'm beyond the patch and diff stuff, I figured that out, the problem I'm having is that some filenames get mangled. Does DJGPP's DJTAR support Win '95 LFN? I tried WinZip, which is supposed to be able to restore long filenames, but there was one particular file (for example) gcc-2.7.2.1, something like that, which didn't extract to that file name. I've even resorted to manually renaming the files, but that didn't work either. Unfortunately I may have to resort to installing Linux in order to compile the sources. I promise you this is a legit problem I'm having.

It *is* easier to get a patched source tree from Linux than it is ... from the `p' directory. After that, compilation should work.

Ok, I'll try it out as a last resort because I'll have to download Linux and the DJGPP binaries. I just want to make sure I've exhausted my PC options first.

See ya! Orlando Llanes
