I looked through this group, but I didn't see it. I would search more exhaustively, but since I'm not asking a question, I don't feel like it :) I (today) went through the task of upgrading to djgpp v2. Previously, I had used v1 w/DOS, and a week ago, I upgraded to Win95. My program compiled fine using v1 gcc. However, gdb no longer worked - it complained about dpmi, and all the various incarnations I tried all failed in one way or another. So I got the bare minimum v2 stuff (djdev, gcc272, bnu252? [and gdb]) and installed - nothing would compile - gcc appeared to be encountering a segmentation violation. In fact, it would cause a MFU about 50% of the time, and Windows would demand that I reboot. I got the FAQ, and read through it, and noted the suggestion to use -v. This also seg viod right away. Finally, in desperation, I tried to compile on the command line, instead of with make, and it worked. I went and retrieved the new version of make, and everything now works perfectly. So, I would like to make the following suggestion: for the readme.1st file in the v2 directory, I think that mak373b.zip should also be a mandatory file to download, if you've recently upgraded to Win95. Thanks, John -- Do you have a right not to be offended?
