Hey.
I'm trying to install DJGPP on a 486-33 running Dos 6.0 at work. I told
the zip picker my requirements and it chose the appropriate files.
The problem was in unzipping gpp281b.zip. I keep getting an error
message saying "can't create g++.exe". I have thought about renaming the
file, zipping it, then unzipping and renaming it, but eventually I'm
going to need to rename it back to g++.exe, and the rename command will
not accept ++ as part of a valid filename, it comes back with "too many
parameters"
Is there any way to get around this problem? I cannot compile any C++
programs because RHIDE always gives me a 'bad command or file name' when
I try to compile; obviously it cannot find g++.exe. How can I get around
this problem?
NOTE: I have already consulted the DJGPP mail archives, which won't even
accept g++ as a keyword, and the FAQ made no mention of this problem. I
read something implying that files with "++" in the name are for UNIX
systems, but I specifically told zip picker that I was using MS-DOS.
I realize that this is primarily a DOS problem, but I wondered if other
DJGPP users had ever encountered it, thus the cross-posting.
TIA,
Mark
