The file 'readme.1st' that comes with the standard DJGPP distribution
gives precise instructions for installation and setup of DJGPP, and
includes basic instructions for compiling.
The DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list, while not precisely a
tutorial, is still an incredibly important source of information on
DJGPP, particularly for people who are used to other compilers like TC
and MC. The FAQ can be read online at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/, or downloaded from SimTel as
v2/faq202b.zip.
There are many other sources of information about DJGPP on the Internet,
contributed by dozens of helpful and knowledgeable users. The FAQ
mentions many of these, and you just have to look at the .signatures of
various folks on the newsgroup to find others.
P.S.: To all DJGPP users, look for a new version of the FAQ to be
announced in a couple of weeks. The more people that know about it now,
the less we will have to inform after the fact. ;) (If I am being too
presumptuous here, Eli, I apologize.)
