I'm not sure if anybody has responded to this yet, so I'll go ahead and
do it myself.
DJGPP is a do-it-yourself compiler. We don't hold your hand throughout
the process; we supply all the information you need and leave it up to
you to actually go to the effort of using it. If you become lost or
confused along the way, you can ask here and we'll help you the rest of
the way. That said, here's where to go to find the information you
want.
The first is in the v2 directory of every SimTel DJGPP mirror site; it's
called 'readme.1st'. It contains complete, precise instructions for
determining your needs, downloading the files, and installing them. The
second is online at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html. This
is an automated tool that asks you what your needs are for DJGPP and
recommends specific packages to download. I highly recommend it if you
are confused.
The third major resource is the DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions list,
available from SimTel as v2/faq210b.zip or online at
http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/. This is the definitive source of
all common DJGPP questions and precise answers or instructions for
solving them. Please read the FAQ through at least once; you'll be
better for it. For quick reference, you should absolutely read at least
chapters 1 through 6.
Hope this helps!
