If you're trying to rebuild libc, then all you should need to do is change to the src directory and type "make", then go to the src/libc directory and type "../rmake". To rebuild all of DJGPP, change to the src directory and type "makeall"... and watch it go... and go... and go... ;) You will of course need to get _all_ the source distributions that you wish to rebuild. Rebuilding also requires 'v2/djlsr201.zip'. I also heard that the build process is designed specifically for DJ Delorie's customized DOS box, and thus it may not be guaranteed to work on all systems. There should be no real reason why you should need to rebuild any part of DJGPP, though. If you need to fix bugs in a particular program, then you can rebuild just that program. Similarly, library code fixes can be applied by patching the source file in djlsr, and then using 'ar' to replace just that one object file. -- John M.
