Hangs, as in soft crash (you can kill it with ctrl-alt-delete), or as in hard crash (you have to press Reset)? Do you see any error messages when it hangs? > If I run w/ -v it prints out that it is invoking cpp. > > I am running gcc in a dos window within windows 95. Make sure you have DPMI memory in the DOS box control panel set high enough. The max Win95 allows you to select is 16MB, but you can type in manually anything up to 64MB. > PATH=D:\CAFE\BIN;D:\CAFE\JAVA\BIN;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND;C:\MSINPUT\MOUSE;D:\GNU\BIN;D:\UNIX;E:\DJGPP It looks like you're not finding the right cpp.exe because your PATH is set wrong. It should contain "E:\DJGPP\BIN", not "E:\DJGPP". Also, look on the directories that come before DJGPP\BIN to make sure they don't have any programs that conflict with the DJGPP ones. (i.e. make.exe, cpp.exe. cc1.exe, as.exe, ld.exe, etc.) If this doesn't solve your problem, it would be helpful if you could capture the output of 'gcc -v' using the 'redir' program that comes with DJGPP. Even a partial listing (up to the point of the crash) would help. -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- | John M.
