[Bug c/30741] Error when trying to compile under DOS on a Vista machine
--- Comment #4 from ggiordano at verizon dot net 2007-02-11 01:44 --- Subject: Re: Error when trying to compile under DOS on a Vista machine I had already installed DJGPP at work and it worked fine (Windows 2K). I installed it at home on my XP system and it didn't work. I installed it at home on my Vista machine and it didn't work. I took my Vista laptop to work, copied the complete install from my W2K machine onto my Vista machine and it now works. I have no idea why. I did all of this installing over a period of 3 days so I don't think I was doing anything differently each time. I don't need it on my XP home machine so I deleted it. As a hardware engineer, I find all this very puzzling but its now all working so I'll move on. Do I need to file an update to the bug or can you just close it out? Thanks for following up.

You have to use a djgpp-aware unzip program to install, or the filenames get all messed up. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30741

--- Comment #1 from dj at redhat dot com 2007-02-09 03:10 --- For starters, gcc is case sensitive. When you passed it PROG1.C instead of prog1.c, you're telling it to compile a C++ program. Did you install the C++ compiler? Do you get the same error if you use prog1.c instead of PROG1.C ? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=30741

I thought I'd been mixing case all along and that it didn't matter under DOS but apparantly I'm mistaken. Now, it won't recognize stdio.h. I think this is an install problem. I wish there was a simpler install of gcc instead of this DJGPP. Thanks.
