To test my DJGPP installation (clio.rice.edu/Windows 2000) I decided to go
ahead with one of the suggestions here and build GCC 3.0.4 myself. The
djconfig.sh script ran without errors.

But when I try to run "sh djmake.sh bootstrap" I eventually get the
following error sequence:

make.exe[1]: Entering directory `d:/Project/gcc/gnu/gcc-3.04/build.djg/gcc'

Now, I did a little reading on this and it is a UNIX error message saying
that the environment doesn't have any more space for files.
I am running DJGPP in a cmd.exe shell. Should I run MAKE in a command.com
shell instead? Should I set my FILES= higher in Config.sys? Should I set
NOFILES in the config.site? I have tried both without success (FILES=75;
NOFILES=75). Or is there something else I still need to do?

Is there a FAQ or reference about this?

Thanks,
Ben
