Please read it *completely* before asking for help. * ************************************************************************ DJGPP is a non-proprietary environment for developing 32-bit protected mode software in C/C++ under MS-DOS. The DJGPP home page on the WWW is: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ Status and other information (online docs, FAQ, mail archives) are made available through the DJGPP web pages. Discussion of DJGPP and questions about its usage or features are through the djgpp news group (post to comp.os.msdos.djgpp) and djgpp mailing list (send your messages to <[email protected]>, subscribe through <[email protected]>). Look on the web page for information on the latest versions of various DJGPP packages. Version information is in manifest/*.ver within each zip. Contents are in manifest/*.mft in each zip. There are also alternate (and usually better) tutorials on getting, setting up, and using djgpp available on the World Wide Web: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/doc/ THE DISTRIBUTION **************** The DJGPP distribution is broken into a few subdirectories, by content. Each subdirectory has a file called 00_index.txt that contains descriptions of each of the files in that directory. The 'b' zips include the binaries and on-line documentation. At the time of writing this file, the various packages are: FAQ A short file which points you to other documents you should read (including the full FAQ list). v2/ unzip32 A free program to unzip the archive (like PKUNZIP) djdev205 DJGPP V2 Development Kit and Runtime djlsr205 DJGPP V2 Base Library Sources djtst205 DJGPP V2 Test Programs (for testing the C library) djcrx205 DJGPP V2 Cross-to-DOS Compiler Support Files (from djlsr/djdev) djtzn205 DJGPP V2 Timezone Files djtzs205 DJGPP V2 Timezone Sources faq*b The full FAQ list in various formats (Info, ASCII, HTML...) faq*s The Texinfo sources of the FAQ and tools to generate all the different formats of the FAQ frfaq* DJGPP FAQ en Francais v2apps/ (various applications built with/for DJGPP, like RHIDE and TeX) v2gnu/ (ports of various FSF/GNU programs to DJGPP, like gcc and binutils) v2tk/ (various toolkits for use with DJGPP, like Allegro and libsocket) v2misc/ csdpmi* CWSDPMI, Charles Sandmann's free DPMI server binaries and docs mlp* ML's Executable File Packer Binaries ("djp") pmode* PMODE stub for djgpp V2 wmemu* WM's alternative 387 emulator binaries for DJGPP V2 (and other miscellaneous things to use with DJGPP) GETTING STARTED *************** The info below is the minimum new users should know to get them up and running with DJGPP. Please read the DJGPP documentation and the FAQ list for further details. New users are encouraged to read the FAQ list in its entirety. What to download ---------------- See http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/zip-picker.html for a form-based guide to what to download. In general, download the binary distributions only; most people don't need the source distributions. To build C programs, you'll need djdev205.zip, gcc*b.zip, and bnu*b.zip. For C++, also get gpp*b.zip. To read the online manuals, get txi*b.zip and run "info". If you don't have a DPMI server installed, you'll need csdpmi*b.zip. (Windows, QDPMI, 386Max, NWDOS, OpenDOS, OS/2, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Linux DOSEmu all provide DPMI services, so you don't need CWSDPMI in those environments.) For more details, download faq*b.zip (the full FAQ list) and read Chapter 4, "Where and What to Download". If you have Windows ME, 2000 or XP, DJGPP executables dated before December 2001 may not work properly, so make sure you get new distributions where possible if you are using a newer Windows release. Installation ------------ A 'long file name' or 'long directory name' has path components that are longer than 8 characters in the portion before the extension and longer than 3 characters in the extension. A long file name may also have multiple extensions and contain some characters that are invalid in short file names (not including the quotes: "+,;=[]"). 1. Create a directory for DJGPP, say C:\DJGPP. (WARNING: do NOT install DJGPP in a directory C:\DEV, D:\DEV, etc., or in any of their subdirectories: it will not work! See the FAQ for more details.) Do not use a long directory name or one with spaces or special characters. If you have version 1.x installed, it's best to delete the contents of its `bin/' subdirectory or move it to another directory (not on your PATH), and delete everything else from that installation. (Some of the problems reported by users of DJGPP v2 were caused by inadvertently mixing it with old v1.x programs.) The only program from v1.x that you should keep is `go32.exe'. If you are running under Windows NT 4.0, you need to decide if you want to use long names or DOS 8.3 names before you install. If you plan to use long names you need to download and install the long file name TSR (ntlfn*b.zip) before expanding the distributions. 2. Unzip all the zip files from that directory, preserving the directory structure. For example: pkunzip -d djdev205 or unzip32 djdev205 On Windows 9x, Windows/ME, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, use an unzip program which supports long file names. Latest versions of InfoZip's UnZip and PKUnZip, as well as WinZip, all support long file names. unzip32.exe, available from the DJGPP sites, also supports long file names. One way to make sure you have preserved long file names is to look for a file include/sys/sysmacros.h: if you see only sysmacro.h instead, your unzip program does NOT support long filenames, and you need to find another one. You must make sure when you expand the distributions that you preserve the directory structure. If you use WinZip, you MUST check the box "Use folder names". If you use pkunzip, you must use the -d switch. On Windows NT (NT version 4 and below, not 2000 or XP!) use an unzip program which does NOT support long file names if you not plan on using the LFN TSR, as DJGPP programs cannot access long file names on NT4 without the TSR. Again, unzip32.exe will do The Right Thing for you, so using it is recommended. 3. After unzipping all the zip files, set the DJGPP environment variable to point to the file DJGPP.ENV in the main DJGPP installation directory and add its BIN subdirectory to your PATH. The exact way how these variables should be set depends on your operating system: * For Windows 98 systems: - Click START; - Choose Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Information; - Click Tools in the menu-bar, then choose "System Configuration"; - Use the tab provided there for editing your AUTOEXEC.BAT as explained below. * For Windows ME systems: - Click START, choose Run, type msconfig.exe, click OK; - Click the "Environment" tab; - Edit the PATH system variable to add the DJGPP bin subdirectory; - Add a new variable DJGPP and set its value to the full path name of the DJGPP.ENV file as explained below. * For Windows NT systems: - Right-click "My Computer", then select "Properties"; - Click the "Environment" tab; - Edit the PATH system variable to add the DJGPP bin subdirectory; (if you are not an administrator, add the DJGPP bin directory to the user PATH variable - or create one with only this directory since it is added to the system path); - Add a new variable DJGPP and set its value to the full path name of the DJGPP.ENV file as explained below. * For Windows 2000 or Windows XP systems: - Right-click "My Computer", then select "Properties"; - Select the "Advanced" tab, then click "Environment Variables" button; - Edit the PATH system variable to add the DJGPP bin subdirectory; (if you are not an administrator, add the DJGPP bin directory to the user PATH variable - or create one with only this directory since it is added to the system path); - Add a new variable DJGPP and set its value to the full path name of the DJGPP.ENV file as explained below. * For all other systems (DOS, Windows 3.X and Windows 95): use any text editor, e.g. the standard EDIT, to edit the file AUTOEXEC.BAT in the root directory of the boot drive (usually, C:). Instead of editing your autoexec files and/or global environment, you may wish to create a djgpp shortcut instead. To do this, create a BAT file which has the lines below in it. This is often needed if you have multiple compilers on the same system. No matter which method you use, assuming your DJGPP installation is rooted at C:\DJGPP, the values of the two environment variables DJGPP and PATH should be set like this: set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH% 4. Reboot. This makes sure the two lines you added to autoexec.bat will take effect. (On Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the changes take effect immediately, so you don't need to reboot there, but you do have to close and reopen the DOS box windows.) 5. Run the go32-v2.exe program without arguments: go32-v2 It should report how much DPMI memory and swap space can DJGPP use on your system, like this: DPMI memory available: 8020 Kb DPMI swap space available: 39413 Kb The actual numbers will vary according to amount of RAM installed on your system, the available disk space and the DPMI server. If the sum of the two numbers reported by go32-v2 is less than 4MB, read section 3.9 of the FAQ, "How to configure your system for DJGPP". (If you have more than that, but want to get the optimal performance from your system, read that section anyway.) Compilation ----------- GCC is a command-line compiler which you invoke from the DOS command line. To compile and link a single-file C program, use a command like this: gcc myfile.c -o myfile.exe -lm The -lm links in the lib/libm.a library (trig math) if needed. (Link order is significant, so if you need libm.a, always put `-lm' at the end of the command line.) To compile a C or C++ source file into an object file, use this command line: gcc -c -Wall myfile.c (for C source) or gcc -c -Wall myfile.cc (for C++ source) This produces the object file myfile.o. The `-Wall' switch turns on many useful warning messages which are especially beneficial for new users of GCC. (Other C++ extensions, like .cpp, are also supported, see section 8.4 of the FAQ, "How does GCC recognize the source language", for details.) To link several C object files into an executable program, use a command line such as this: gcc -o myprog.exe mymain.o mysub1.o mysub2.o This produces `myprog.exe' which can be run from the DOS prompt. To link a C++ program, use gxx instead of gcc, like this: gxx -o myprog.exe mymain.o mysub1.o mysub2.o This will automatically search the C++ libraries, so you won't need to mention them on the command line. You can also combine the compilation and link steps, like this: gcc -Wall -o myprog.exe mymain.c mysub1.c mysub2.c Further info about the plethora of GCC switches can be found in the GCC on-line documentation. To begin reading it, install the Texinfo package (txi*b.zip, see the ``On-line docs'' section below) and type this: info gcc invoking Development environment (aka IDE) --------------------------------- Currently, DJGPP doesn't come with an integrated environment of its own. You are free to choose any editor that can launch DOS programs and catch their output, to act as an IDE. Many people who work with DJGPP use a DOS port of GNU Emacs (it's available in the v2gnu subdirectory) which can be compiled with DJGPP. Emacs is a very powerful editor (for example, it has a built-in Info reader, so you can read DJGPP documentation without leaving the editor), but many other free editors can serve as an IDE. The only task that these editors (including Emacs) cannot do is to run a debugger in a full-screen session. An IDE called RHIDE supports DJGPP. It features a Turbo C-style interface, auto-indentation, color syntax highlighting, automatic invocation of the DJGPP compiler, automatic Makefile generation, and easy access to the DJGPP online documentation. RHIDE also incorporates integrated and/or standalone debugging using the same functionality as the GNU Debugger (gdb). Visit http://www.rhide.com/ for the latest information and updates. Debugging --------- To debug a program, you must first compile its source files with the `-g'switch: gcc -c -Wall -g mymain.c gcc -c -Wall -g mysub1.c gcc -c -Wall -g mysub2.c and then link with `-g' as well: gcc -g -o myprog.exe mymain.o mysub1.o mysub2.o (Note that beginning with v2.01 of DJGPP, it is no longer necessary to compile to a raw COFF output by omitting the `.exe' from the filename in order to debug programs. The debuggers distributed with v2.01 and later are capable of reading an executable as well as the raw COFF. If you don't understand what this means, don't worry about it.) Then run your program under the debugger: fsdb myprog.exe or gdb myprog.exe or edebug32 myprog.exe (You will have to get gdb*b.zip if you want to debug with GDB.) FSDB has a help screen; press F1 to read it. GDB comes with Info docs (see below) which can be read with info.exe. Edebug32 is a seldom-used alternative debugger; type 'h' to get help. On-line docs ------------ Most of the on-line documentation is organized in a special hypertext format used by the GNU project. Each package comes with its own docs, in files with the .iNN extension which are unzipped into the info/ subdirectory of your main DJGPP installation directory. To browse these docs, get and unzip the file txi*b.zip, then run info.exe. If you don't know how to use Info, read the next section. Reading the documentation, or A Crash Course in Info ---------------------------------------------------- The following is not supposed to be a complete guide to using Info, but just a starting point, so you could move around the docs and search it efficiently for specific subjects. To invoke Info to read a manual, type "info" followed by the manual name. For example: - type "info libc" to read the C library docs; - type "info libc alphabetical printf" to read the documentation of library function `printf'; - type "info gcc" to read the manual for GCC, the GNU C compiler; - type "info faq" to read the DJGPP FAQ list; - type "info make" to read the manual for the Make utility; - type "info" to get a menu of all the manuals. To exit Info, press `q' (for Quit). Once inside Info, you can move around with the usual cursor motion keys: Up-arrow, Down-arrow, PageDown, PageUp, etc. To read the entire manual in an orderly fashion, press SPACE every time you've completed reading a screenful. This will take you through the entire sequence of chapters and sections of a manual. Menus are marked by a line that says "* Menu:". Each line below the menu marker that begins with a "* " is a menu item. To choose a menu item, position the cursor at the beginning of a line, right under the asterisk `*', and press [Enter]. Hypertext links are marked by "* Note". To follow the reference, position the cursor at the asterisk, then press [Enter]. To get back from the excursion, press `l' (that's a lower-case letter ell, not the digit one), for "Last". To quickly search for a particular subject in the index of a manual, press `i' (for Index), type the subject, then press [Enter]. You can type only part of the subject name and press TAB, to see whether the index includes any entries that begin with what you typed. TAB causes Info to try to complete what you typed using the available index entries. If Info beeps at you or flashes the screen colors when you press TAB, it means that there are no index entries which begin with what you typed; delete what you have typed (using the BackSpace key) and try a different name for what you were looking for. If there are some index entries that begin with what you typed, Info will complete it. If the completed entry looks like what you are looking for, press [Enter] to go to the section of the manual that discusses it; if not, press TAB again to see all the possible completions. If any of the completions seem right, type enough text to make it unique and press [Enter]. If none of the completions seem appropriate, delete what you typed and try a different subject name. For example, suppose you get the infamous message "ld.exe: cannot open -lstdcxx: No such file or directory" and you want to check what the FAQ has to say about that. You start Info ("info faq"), then press `i' and type "c a n TAB" (without the blanks). The first TAB just capitalizes "can" into "Can", so you know there are some index entries which begin with "Can", and type TAB again. Now you will see a list of potential completions. Alas, none of them seems to be relevant for this problem, so you use BackSpace to delete "Can" and then type "-lstd" followed by TAB. Now Info has only one choice so it completes your search and this time it's exactly what you are looking for! Finally, press [Enter] to go to that node and read what the FAQ has to say about this subject. If you prefer to look up the subject in the index yourself, page through the top-level menu of the manual until you find a menu entry that says something like "* Concept Index" or "* Command Index" or just "* Index", press [Enter] to go to the index, then browse it for any pertinent entries. An index is just a huge menu sorted in alphabetical order, so find an entry you are looking for, position the cursor at the beginning of its line, and press [Enter] to go to the relevant section. The library reference doesn't have an index, so search for functions either in the alphabetical list or in the functional categories. For example, library function `mktime' is in the "Time Functions" category, `random' is in the "Random Number Functions" category, etc. Sometimes the index search won't help you (because the indices cannot list everything). In this case, press `s' (for Search), type the text you want to find, and then press [Enter]. Info will search the entire manual for this string and position you at the first occurrence. To search for the next occurrence, press `s' and [Enter] again: Info will repeat the search. Finally, if you don't know in what manual to look for some subject, you can use the "--apropos" switch to cause Info to look for that subject in the indices of every installed manual. For example, suppose you have heard that DJGPP programs support file-name wildcards, but you don't know in which manual to look for their description. The following command will ask Info to print all the sections in every manual whose indices mention the string "wildcard": info --apropos=wildcard This will run for a while, and then print lines like these: "(kb)Features" -- Wildcards "(kb)Changes in 2.01" -- wildcards "(djgppfaq)Filename globbing" -- Filename wildcards expansion The text inside the quotes is the name of the manual and the section where the subject "wildcard" is discussed. To invoke Info in order to read the first entry above, type this: info --node="(kb)Features" Info has many more commands and options. To find out, from the command line type "info info". To find out even more, type "info info-standalone". Compatibility with previous 2.x versions ---------------------------------------- If you are upgrading from version 2.00 of DJGPP, you should completely reinstall all the packages you need to use. Because of the different methods used by versions 2.01 and later to handle long command lines (and long file names under Windows '95, '98, ME, 2000 and XP), mixing V2.00 programs with those from later versions can cause very subtle and difficult to debug problems. See the FAQ section 16.6 for more information. DJGPP uses files of a special format, to support symbolic links between files. Version 2.04 introduced a new format for symlinks, to improve symlink support. Versions 2.00 through 2.03 do not understand the new format symlinks and cannot resolve them. Version 2.04 understands the old and new symlink formats. Subtle and difficult to debug problems may be experienced, if programs built with version 2.04 are mixed with programs built with an earlier version. If you are upgrading from version 2.00 through 2.02 of DJGPP on Windows 2000 or XP, you should reinstall all the DJGPP packages. Programs built with version 2.02 and earlier are likely to fail on Windows 2000 and XP. If you are upgrading from version 2.03 of DJGPP on Windows 2000 or XP, you should reinstall all DJGPP packages dated after December 2001. Programs dated before December 2001 are likely to fail on Windows 2000 and XP. Compatibility with 1.x versions ------------------------------- Existing binaries compiled under DJGPP V1.x can be used for applications for which there is no v2.x version. V1 programs cannot run V2 programs (but v2 programs *can* run v1 programs), so don't try, say, using v1.x Make to run v2.x compiler. --- COPYRIGHT --- DJGPP V2 is Copyright (C) 1989-2002 by DJ Delorie. Some parts of libc.a are Copyright (C) Regents of the University of California at Berkeley. GNU software (gcc, make, libg++, etc) is Copyright by the Free Software Foundation. DJGPP V2's copyright allows it to be used to produce commercial applications. However, if you include code or libraries that are not part of djgpp (like gnu's libg++) then you must comply with their copyrights. See Chapter 19 of the FAQ for more details. There was a discussion a while ago on the DJGPP news group about the copyright of some of libc's functions. This copyright required that you mentioned the "University of California, Berkeley" in your distribution even if it only consisted of binaries, i.e. a compiled program. However, the Berkeley license has been changed in July 1999, and you don't need to mention their copyright in your distribution anymore. The functions and files in libc that have the Berkeley copyright are listed here: from libc/ansi/time/ctime.c: asctime ctime gmtime localtime mktime tzset tzsetwall from libc/compat/stdlib/random.c: initstate random setstate srandom ============================================================================== Enjoy!
