Make sure you are using the DJDEV203*.zip release 2 or the DJGPP 2.04 alpha 1 release on XP. >I have followed the instructions EXACTLY... I set the environment variable, >set the path variable, edited the autoexec.bat, rebooted many times, and >nothing I do seems to have any effect. I simply can not get it to build. From the 2.04 alpha readme.1st:- * For Windows 2000 or Windows XP systems: - Right-click "My Computer", then select "Properties"; - Select the "Advanced" tab, then click "Environment Variables" button; - Edit the PATH system variable to add the DJGPP bin subdirectory; (if you are not an administrator, add the DJGPP bin directory to the user PATH variable - or create one with only this directory since it is added to the system path); - Add a new variable DJGPP and set its value to the full path name of the DJGPP.ENV file as explained below. After doping this check that the DJGPP environment variable is setup correctly by typing "set djgpp", DO NOT put "=". If it is correct then go and download the updated DJDEV203*.zip. If this still does not work then please cut out the text from the dos prompt where regarding the error and the lines above the error. Andrew
