- Welcome to DJGPP v2.0!!!
- ------------------------
-
- No, this is NOT the FAQ list for DJGPP! (Did you really think that a
- FAQ list for such a large project could be so small?)
-
- The real purpose of this document is to catch your eyes up front and
- point you to the various available documents that we recommend you to
- get and read when you install DJGPP version 2.
-
- First, you should get the file `v2/readme.1st'. It describes the
- files you'll find in this archive, recommends what basic packages you
- should download from this site and spells out the initial steps
- everybody should do to install DJGPP. It also includes a few examples
- of command lines to compile and link programs with DJGPP; these are
- meant to get new users of DJGPP up and running.
-
- If you have any problems whatsoever installing the package and
- compiling your first test program, please get the full FAQ list (it's
- in `v2/faqNNNb.zip', where NNN is the version number) and search it for
- your problem. The FAQ archive includes files in several different
- formats; pick the one that you fancy the most and look up your problem
- in the large indices at its end. You can look in the Program Index,
- under the name of the program which seems to give you trouble, or in
- the Topic Index for anything pertinent to the problems you have.
-
- If the full FAQ doesn't seem to help, please post your problem to the
- DJGPP Newsgroup (comp.os.msdos.djgpp), or write to its mirrored
- mailing list <djgpp@delorie.com> if you don't have access to Usenet
- news. We specifically urge you to post ONLY AFTER searching the FAQ
- list.
-
- If your installation and test compilation was flawless, please get the
- full FAQ anyway and read its first 4 chapters. Section 3.8 includes
- some advice about configuring your system in an way that should
- optimize DJGPP performance on your system; it is especially important
- if you have less than 4 MBytes of RAM installed.
