Hi, I've just installed djgpp on my 486, and when I tried to compile some
programs I've written at work (on a SUN station with gcc1.40) I was unable
to get pass the compilation process for several occasions. The most common
error message I got was:
Segmentation violation in pointer 0x80000000 at 40:10e3
Execpt 14 at eip=10e3
^^^^
the eip value varies, but the message is the same.
Another occasion, my 486 just reboot itself at the middle of the compilation.
The djgpp version I got was from grape.ecs.clarkson.edu. My 486 has 4 Meg RAM,
130 Meg HardDisk, and currently running DOS5.0 with EMM386
and SMARTDRV using 1Meg for disk cache (Both EMM386 and SMARTDRV are from
the MS-WIN3.1 package).
At one point, I suspected the SMARTDRV and the loadhi commands might be the
problem, so I commented out those from my autoexec.bat file. When I did a
make again (BTW, I am using the make utility from Borland c++ 2.0), the red
light of my harddisk just keep flashing and it never got passing the first
file. I had to reboot my machine eventually.
I'll appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks!
