We are in the process of releasing a refreshed djdev203.zip with the "fixed" sys/djtypes.h to make GCC 3.1 happy.

It's a patch - ideally you would extract it and run the patch utility (if you installed it) - if not you could carefully hand edit the changes into djtypes.h ... Or I believe you can just get http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/v203u2/djdev203_u2.zip and that will "upgrade" a December 2001 refresh to include the gcc 3.1 fixes. > I would have thought this would have been mentioned in the > Installation Instruction page that zippicker reveals.

I see the > reference to a fixup page in readme.DJGPP at > http://clio.rice.edu/djgpp/win2k/main.htm I use exclusively Win2K for my DJGPP development, so if you pick up the recent files the key pieces (built since December 2001) should work on Win2K. If the binary is older, you may need to build an update yourself.
