Subject:	Error when compiling Ghostsctript using DJGPP
Date:	Mon, 30 Dec 1996 23:09:16 -0500
Mime-Version:	1.0

Hello,

I'm compiling a MSDOS version of Aladdin's Ghostscript to add an extra
printer.  It goes just fine through the makefile but at the very end it
chokes on 2 spots.
(See below on the excerpt of the Makefile)
Problem #1
The Echo command returns a DOS like error, so I substitutred that line by
using the type command as follows:
		type paul.txt >>_temp_
(where the file PAUL.TXT contains the text -lsys -lc -lm)
Doing that DOS command sustitutiuion seems to take away choking spot #1.  

Problem #2
But choking spot #2 is occuring on the next line when GCC is executing the
command.  It cannot find the file or library -lsys.  I seem unable how to
find and solve this problem.  It is happy with -lc and -lm since I believe
it found it since at the DOS prompt I typed GCC -lc and it was happy. 
Latter I typed GCC -lm  it was happy also, but it didn't like GCC -lsys
indicated the file or lib not found.  Am I missing a library file? Any
ideas?

Thanks for any help.
