If you don't know how to build the 3d library Crystal Space, disregard
this post. I doubt many have done this, but I'm posting here for now.  I
will also track down where the Crystal Space guru's live and post there.

Any help would be appreciated.

I am simply trying to build Crystal Space on DJGPP


Steps taken to compile:

Reading the faq:

2.2 External libraries

PROBLEM 1) External libraries:

Downloaded: ftp://ftp.linuxgames.com/crystal/support/winlibs14.zip 

But it doesn't say where to unzip this stuff at. So I have no idea what 
to do with it.


PROBLEM 2) Zlib:

Downloaded zlib:ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/png/src zlib113

C:\CS\libs\zlib>make
cc -O   -c -o example.o example.c
make.exe: *** [example.o] Error -1


PROBLEM 3) libpng:

There is like super arcane instructions beyond the scope of
mortal man on how to compile for DJGPP... Let alone someone who
just wants to get something working and is eager to test it out.
Day 3, Jim gets his DJGPP updated for the current century, but
still not within sight of land.

PROBLEM 4) libjpg:

Ahh yes, a textual account of how to compile written by the people 
who wrote the program and expect me as the user to really have
a grasp of all the details.... UGH I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THIS
DOES YET! I just want to use 3d to make games. Coding sux bad enough
without all the troublesome installation.  I understand though this
is the latest thing for DJGPP though so no one has made stuff
comprehensive or comprehensible for that matter :)  I'll
bare with it and hope some kind soul in cyber land helps me.


I probably have more problems, but I'll solve these for now, and
later I will attempt to finish up the second part of compiling :)

Thanks for the support.
