- Installing the Downloaded Version
- ---------------------------------
-
- Digital Mars has a different view of installation than most software products.
- It doesn't need registry entries, environment variable settings, nor does it
- need to install anything in the \windows\system directory.
-
- Consequently, the compiler can be run without any need for an install.
- Just run the programs in \dm\bin. This is most convenient
- for cases where a particular version of the compiler is needed, or to just try
- it out.
-
- Installing is as simple as going to the root directory of the hard disk and
- unzipping the downloaded dm???c.zip file:
-
- unzip dm???c.zip
-
- The compiler is \dm\bin\sc.exe. Too make it even more convenient, add
-
- c:\dm\bin
-
- to the PATH environment variable setting (c: is the drive it is installed on).
-
- To compile a simple hello.c program:
-
- \dm\bin\sc hello
-
- will compile and link to create hello.exe.
