Try the following command and tell if it created a directory `foo' under your main DJGPP installation directory: gmkdir /dev/env/DJDIR/foo > The script is in my previous post in case anyone would care to take > a look at it. I'm well familiar with mkinstalldirs, it's a standard part of many GNU package distributions.

Writing up such a guide has been on my todo list forever, but I never had enough time to make it happen. Sorry.
