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.
