All right, I've had quite a number of problems getting started with
DJGPP, and I think it's best if I detail them from the beginning
rather than assuming some of the fixes I've made were reasonable. 

I've read the FAQs and readmes and while I admit it's possible that
I've missed some detail, I'm at a loss what that detail could be.

Make result: 

Your DJDIR environment variable is not set correctly! It should
point to the djgpp.env file: see the djgpp readme.1st for details.

GCC result (just 'gcc', or gcc on a hello world type file):

gcc.exe: environment variable DJGPP points to corrupt file
'c:\djgpp\djgpp.env'


Relevent Environment Variables:

Path=d:\djgpp\bin   (I have edited it down to this just for
interference free testing)

DJGPP=d:\djgpp\djgpp.env


Now, the first thing that raises eyebrows, for me, is the fact that
the GCC result refers to the C drive, whereas the DJGPP path and files
and environment variables are all clearly in or appropriately pointing
to the D drive. 


Now, the first thing I did (aside from looking on google groups for
advice, which helped naught), was try setting the djdir myself, rather
than entrusting the task to the .env. This was of some 'help', and had
the following result:

GCC result:

Works normally, compiles successfully

Makefile Result:

Your PATH is not set correctly! This must include the djgpp bin
directory: see the djgpp readme.1st for details


This suggests to me that while poking in the djdir directly was
helpful, it was not solving the actual problem, and the makefile
wasn't terribly well convinced despite having found something new to
complain about. 

My thanks in advance, a post is preferable but email is just as good.

Best,
Steven
