Hello.

With which method?

If you use dosemu or VMware, you need a copy of the operating system you
want to run. You still have a copy of autoexec.bat that runs. You set up
DJGPP exactly as you would normally. The operating system runs within
dosemu or VMware.

With a cross-compiler you actually use a different command to compile your
programs, e.g. instead of using gcc you'd use i586-msdos-djgpp-gcc (see
the cross-compiler HOWTO for details).

Hope this helps.
