I'm not sure I correctly understood all that. Please be sure that *you*
understand what DJGPP 2.04 is: a development *platform*. *Mixing* platforms
is generally a *very* bad idea for any kind of development environment.
I.E. you would never try to run a complex DOS batchfile straight from a
UNIX shell, or expect winsock.dll to run linux networking. They come from
incompatible OSes and different *platforms*.
In summary, for each platform you want to develop you need the developer's
toolchain for *that* platform. DJGPP has it's own bash, perl, gawk, sed,
autoconf, gcc and related libraries. Windows has a different set, Cygwin
has another, Wattcom another, etc. You generally don't mix them.
Even toolchain components from different *versions* of the *same* platform
(i.e. DJGPP 2.03 vs. DJGPP 2.04) shouldn't be mixed at risk of major
borkage unless you know what you're doing.
Regards,
Ben
