Hello,

I have just installed djgpp, and after reading through the FAQ, and
searching the website I have been unable to solve my problems getting
anything running. If someone could help point me in the right direction I
would be very grateful.

I am running Windows 95 on an IBM thinkpad, and trying to invoke things
from a DOS box.

I have unzipped the following files using WinZip to d:\djgpp

Usually, when I run gcc, rhide, make, etc. I get a windows dialog box pop
up with the following message

	This program has performed an illegal operation and will be terminated.
	Quit all programs, and then restart your computer.

	If the program consitently encounters problems, click the Start button
	then select Help, Troubleshooting, and 'If you have trouble running
	MS-DOS programs'

If I click on Detail>>, then I *always* get the following message

	The program encountered a general protection exception

	Fault location:		024F:0044

	Interrupts in service:	1

When I say I usually get this error, running a command line of just "gcc"
will very occaisionally succeed. It gives a sensible message, saying
something like no input file given. Unfortunately I can't get it to run
tonight to repeat the message. I have never got rhide or make to work.

Whenever this crash occurrs, the rest of my PC becomes decidedly unhealthy.
I can't even shut it down - I have to reset it.

As per the FAQ, here is my environment

	TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
	TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
	PROMPT=$p$g
	winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
	COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
	DJGPP=d:\DJGPP\DJGPP.env
	PATH=D:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\THINKPAD;C:\CARDWORK
	windir=C:\WINDOWS
	BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4

Here is the output from running go32-v2

	go32/v2 version 2.0 built Nov 15 1998 14:36:43
	Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
	Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries
as
	 well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your
PATH
	 but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
	Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

	DPMI memory available: 27059 Kb
	DPMI swap space available: 17585 Kb

Here is my autoexec.bat

	@ECHO OFF
	SET PATH=C:\THINKPAD;C:\CARDWORK
	SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T4
