Why do you need to hack them at all? Did you try to install the DJGPP port of Bash and auxiliary utilities, and just run the thing unaltered? In most cases, this should either work or bring you very close. In the latter case, post the relevant Makefile/shell script fragments and error messages, and ask for help here. Here's the basic setup for running Unix Makefiles and shell scripts: - Download and install the following from v2gnu directory on DJGPP sites: bsh1147b.zip, fil316b.zip, txt122b.zip, grep22b.zip, sed118b.zip, gwk3003b.zip, dif271b.zip, shl112b.zip, mak3761b.zip Some of those might not be needed in your case, but since you aren't familiar with Unix and Makefiles, it's better be safe than sorry. - Make sure the Makefiles have this line somewhere inside (if not, add it): SHELL=/bin/sh - Make sure you have a ``symlink'' called sh.exe in the same directory where you unzip bash.exe from bsh1147b.zip. If you don't have sh.exe, create it like this: cd %DJDIR%\bin stubify -g sh.exe stubedit sh.exe runfile=bash (Substitute your top-level DJGPP installation directory for %DJDIR%, do NOT type "%DJDIR%" verbatim!) That's it! Now do whatever the build instructions in the package tell you to, and it should work.
