What's need to setup a 2.04 DOS environment?

[Louis Santillan]

Which files should I be using to setup a 2.04 development environment? What software/libs/apps are incompatible?  What common software/libs/apps could or should be recompiled in 2.04?

Thanks,

Louis

A simple 2.04 setup would be:

The library.
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2/readme.1st
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2/djdev204.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2/djtzn204.zip

The C compiler and debugger.
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/bnu2232b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gcc473b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/gdb76b.zip

Some other tools.
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/bsh205bbr3.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/fil41b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/txt20b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/shl2011b.zip
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta/v2gnu/mak381b.zip

ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current/v2misc/csdpmi7b.zip


Programs compiled using DJGPP 2.04 are stored in
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta

Programs compiled using DJGPP 2.03 are stored in
ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current

Usually it is not wise to mix them. Especially it will probably
not work if you compile something using DJGPP 2.04 but also linking
with a library compiled with DJGPP 2.03.

The directory under ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current is
the same than under ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/beta.
To know what a archive contains look at the 00_index.txt. If
in the corresponding /djgpp/beta directory is no index file look
at the same directory in ftp://ftp.delorie.com/pub/djgpp/current.

I assume you are familiar with DJGPP so you know what environment
variables need to be set. If not, read readme.1st.
