Instructions for installing the compiler are included within the book (these instructions must be modified slightly for WinME and Win2000 and later – see below). Some readers have complained that the instructions are not clear so let me try again (these instructions are intended to do exactly the same thing as the earlier instructions): • create the directory c:\DJGPP (this is explained in greater detail below if you confused) • copy of of the GNU .zip files into that directory • unzip them all (the executables will going into \DGJPP\bin, the \DJGPP\include for include files, etc. the DJGPP directory itself should having nothing but DJGPP.ENV (maybe one other file, but it’s not important) • add c:\DJGPP\bin to your PATH and add the SET DGJPP c:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV to autoexec.bat (as explained in further detail). • Reboot.
