All you need is to extract the source of that function from djlsr201.zip, edit it, then save the edited version and type these commands from the DOS prompt: gcc -c -Wall -O3 foo.c ar rvs c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a foo.o (substitute your DJGPP installation directory for c:/djgpp, and the name of the source file for foo.c). That's all! > Concerning emacs, do you plan to change the current version to emacs 20? IMHO, Emacs 20.2 is not stable enough yet to be suitable to be used by everybody. It is too slow, and some new features are still untested on DOS/Windows and buggy. Whoever wants it can compile the GNU source distribution, it builds right out of the box with DJGPP tools. > I've already tried to compile it, and it works! Of course it works, I've put some 2 months of hard work about a year ago testing it and adding DJGPP-specific patches into it. > emacs 20 is funnier than 19.34... :) (yes I know, I'm an > emacs-enthousiast !) If you use Latin-1 encoded files, I would be interested to know how well does it work for you.
