No, I'm talking about compiling the djgpp sources on my NT machine.  We've
scrapped the idea of using MSVC at all.  We're going to do it the
"traditional" way using editors and RHIDE where we can.  First,
though, I need to get djgpp to compile on my machine.  I've successfully
compiled gcc on sunos, linux, and irix boxes in the past . . . but I have
never had as hard a time as getting djgpp to compile on my NT machine . .
.  And I think it's because I don't have the right tools (i.e. make
program).  Basically what I need is a list of tools and versions and a
step-by-step list of how to build it.  The GNU CC installation
instructions just aren't specific enough for the DOS/Windows platform.  So
far, though, I haven't located anyone who has this kind of information :(
. . .  sigh.
