	We have built DJGPP under Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X based on Andris Pavenis' DJGPP source packages. We upload the prebuilt binaries for everyone being interested in trying them https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp/releases

Hi, I tested the mingw32-standalone version and I have some problem with paths. I setup the system path for:
PATH=N:\DJGPP\BIN;N:\DJGPP\i586-pc-msdosdjgpp\BIN;
N:\DJGPP\LIBEXEC\GCC\i586-pc-msdosdjgpp\4.8.2;%PATH%
and it was unable to compile simple test program
1) it didn't find header files
TESTGCC.C:9:19: error: no include path in which to search for stdio.h
#include <stdio.h>
so I added -I../i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/sys-include/
2) it didn't find libs .a and .o
ld: cannot find crt0.o: No such file or directory
ld: cannot find -lgcc
ld: cannot find -lc
ld: cannot find -lgcc
So I had to add -L../i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/LIB/ -L../LIB/GCC/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/4.8.2/
but it still cannot find crt0.o even if it is placed in ../i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/LIB/ I must copy it to current directory together with source file. Then finally a binary was compiled.

Good job but can you explain how to setup paths correctly or fix it if it's a bug?

Hi,

If you want to use short compiler executable name (like gcc, g++), you also have to set the environment variable GCC_EXEC_PREFIX .

In your case, it should be:

PATH=N:/DJGPP/i586-pc-msdosdjgpp/bin;%PATH%
set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=N:/DJGPP/lib/gcc/

You can also see README.md in https://github.com/andrewwutw/build-djgpp

(In the section "Use DJGPP compiler?)

Thanks, now it works fine. I tested compiled binary under dos 6.22 and seems no difference between binary produced by dos-djgpp, good work!
