T.K. Chia's Gitlab site says this (untested by me): "Alternatively, if you do not wish to install DJGPP, just set a DJDIR environment variable thus: set DJDIR=c:\devel\djgpp" * https://gitlab.com/tkchia/build-ia16/-/releases Off the top of my head, I don't know of any hard requirements that I16GCC.EXE (etc.) needs from DJDEV205.ZIP. (The 386 COFF libraries are useless, for instance, presumably all of the headers too. The rest is mostly just misc. utils and info files.) _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
