We never updated the .ZIPs to newer versions. I halfway wanted to help but chickened out when I saw how big it would be with full sources (100+ MB). IIRC, it's only ancient DJGPP 2.03p2 and not latest 2.05 (2015). The DJGPP "readme.1st" is what tells how to manually install: = http://djgpp.mirror.garr.it/current/v2/readme.1st * unzip c:\tmp\*.zip -d c:\dj (to a subdir on your hard disk, avoiding C:\DEV which is treated specially) * set DJGPP=c:\dj\djgpp.env * path c:\dj\bin;%PATH% * gcc -v Make sure you have CWSDPMI r7 in your path somewhere (if not using a different one, e.g. HDPMI32). I would at minimum recommend GCC, BinUtils, DJDEV, Make for simple .C programs. You can add other libraries (e.g. pdcurses) later, if needed. OH! If you want LFN support, only unzip with LFNs enabled (doslfn e). You can probably still unzip twice if desiring both LFN and SFN functionality. That will create some redundant files, but at least they will be found correctly. I don't recommend LFNs if they can be avoided because they slow everything down a lot. But DJGPP v2 does support Win95-era LFNs (if enabled via third-party TSR) by default.

Re: [Freedos-user] FYI: Social media URLs updated
The docs would say to use FDIMPLES to install from either the Live CD or the Bonus CD. Jerome mentioned last week that there's a bug in the FDIMPLES included in RC5 that it doesn't recognize the packages on the Bonus CD, and shared a link to the updated version. You can use that updated FDIMPLES to install packages from the Bonus CD. Alternatively, packages are just zip files. So you can just unzip every DJGPP package from the Bonus CD to C:\ and that will do the same thing.

Sorry, let me try that again: Please can someone point me at the docs wherein in describes how to install DJGPP from the Bonus ISO. Thanks in advance. Bruce. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
[Freedos-user] FYI: Social media URLs updated
Hi everyone Just to let you know that I've updated our social media URLs so they are consistent with each other. We previously used "@Freedos_Project" (Twitter) and "freedos" (Facebook) and "freedos-project" (Blogger) which was getting confusing because they were all slightly different. I wanted to make it easy to find us on social media, so figured it was time to make a change. The updated URLs: * Twitter: @freedosproject * Facebook: facebook.com/groups/freedosproject * Blogger: freedosproject.blogspot.com If you were already following us on Twitter, or already a member of the Facebook group, you shouldn't have to change your settings to stay connected, but sharing just in case: And elsewhere: * website: www.freedos.org * YouTube: youtube.com/freedosproject * SourceForge: sourceforge.net/projects/freedos * online store: zazzle.com/store/freedos Next up is to update the "branding" so they all look sort of like the FreeDOS website. But I'll save that for later. *The blog is an archive copy. I haven't posted there since 2020. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
