Hello Rugxulo, Thank you very much for your expert reply.
I have some quite extensive experience with GCC on linux, but actually never tried to use the monster on FreeDOS. I see that DJGPP is not as much user friendly as the gcc I'm used to. > set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env This was exactly the problem. First, I had no DJGPP environnement variable at all, then I was setting it naively to point to the directory where DJGPP is installed (C:\DJGPP\) - but only setting it to the value you gave actually solved the problem, and made GCC not crash anymore. Hooray! I'm quite surprised that GCC doesn't checks if the %DJGPP% variable is set, and makes some sense... On the other hand, I should have read the readme file, which provides the correct content for the variable at line #224... :) Thank you!
