Is this why XMDISK and DJC (previously) seized my system? I (only) suspect that MS WINDOWS 3.0 also may clash with DJ's gcc. SOME GOOD NEWS: When I replaced the autoexec.bat and *.sys files for WINDOWS by those for the Basic DOS system, and rebooted, then DJ's gcc worked without a hitch. I've set up the DOS env. vars as follows: PATH=...;F:\DJC\BIN gccbin=f:/djc/bin gccinc=f:/djc/include gcclib=f:/djc/lib gcctmp=f:/tmp My config.sys file contains: files= 30 buffers = 8 FCBS=10,8 device=c:\system\rmdrive.sys device=c:\system\dmdrvr.bin device=c:\system\dfimouse.sys SOME DIAGNOSTICS FOR THE (TROUBLESOME) WINDOWS SETUP: The CONFIG.SYS under the ancien regime was: files= 30 FCBS=10,8 device=c:\system\rmdrive.sys device=c:\system\dmdrvr.bin device=C:\system\himem.sys buffers = 8 device=C:\WINDOWS\smartdrv.sys 78 device=C:\WINDOWS\ega.sys When I typed just "gcc", it rightly said: F:\DJC\BIN\GCC.EXE: No input files specified. But when I typed "gcc hello.c", or typed "ar", for example, then my system seized up. Rebooting required the RESET button (ctrl-alt-del did nothing). Then I found in F:\TMP the file CCAA_AAA.GP, which contained -undef -D__GNUC__ -Dunix -Di386 -D__unix__ -D__i386__ hello.c f:/tmp/ccAA_AAA.cpp I've seen the -D compile switches in the makefiles for gcc. My guess is that ccaa_aaa.gp and ccaa_aaa.cpp are the temporary files for the gcc frontend and cpp passes of the compiler, respectively. Each time gcc crashed on hello.c, ccaa_aaa.gp had the same name (so it wasn't randomized :-)). Once the system was setup right for gcc to work, the temporary files didn't stay around.

With little hope left I've tried grape, but only gotten a message sounding something like "deamon dead". Does anybody know of any other site where I could get it ?

This has been fixed in a recent bug fix release. I hope that the net posting is this fixed version. I have coresponded with DJ Delorie (who BTW responds faster than anyone I have ever delt with) on these and some other problems (inability to do execs and conflicts with vdisk) and he is working on all of these.

I succeeded in compiling a large application with DJ GCC, but only
after removing a duplicate symbol (_localtime) and adding one (_fabs)
in the main library file. Anybody else run across this? My transcript
follows:
gcc -o d:/ramrom/ramgen ramgen.o ramdel.o -L. -lsicomp -lm
ramgen.o: Undefined symbol _fabs referenced from text segment
lib/localtim.o: Definition of symbol _localtime (multiply defined)
gen/ctime.o: Definition of symbol _localtime (multiply defined)
*** Error code 1

Can some kind soul point me to an ftp site for dj1bin and the other portions of gnuc/gnuc++ ? I couldn't collect the pieces of the posting (diskspace constraints). thanks in advance, -bob,mon.

The setup uses a DOS extender (required to get the flat address space that UN*X programs are used to). The extender is one written by the guy who did the port, and placed it under the Copyleft provisions -- it is a good piece of work, but assumes a plain system -- no QEMM, DESQview, or the like.

(and how do I get ahold of it??) The DOS extender is part of the package -- it is the program go32.exe, which can be "bound" to the application. Major problems with go32: it is incompatible with QEMM/386MAX (or Windows, for that matter), and you can't exec other tasks. It is also considerably slower handling file I/O than the commercial Phar Lap. Also note that the format of gcc's a.out file is different than that of Phar Lap linkers *.exp file, as is the handling of segments -- you can't swap DOS extenders. -- Tom Almy toma@sail.labs.tek.com Standard Disclaimers Apply
