Fran- I tried the assignments you suggested, but I'm still not getting anywhere. I still get a requester asking for volume ENV:. I'm pretty ignorant of environment variables and such, I don't speak UNIXese. I found this extra(?) doc buried in the lib directory here is an interesting segment: INSTALLATION Create an assignment called DTMP: to hold the objects Create an assignment called DLIB: to hold the libraries The DINCLUDE: assignment should exist with all the supplied includes placed within in. makedir dtmp:comp makedir dtmp:comp/lib cd dtmp:comp/lib makedir … a whole bunch of directories, see the DMakefile … DMake After the initial dmake you may remake the library at any time. KEEP A COPY OF THE ORIGINAL C.LIB SUPPLIED IN THE DISTRIBUTION in case you make a mistake… also, compiling libmake requires a c.lib to already exist (yours or mine). You might ask how I compiled libmake without a c.lib … answer is that it compiles just fine under any compiler and that is exactly what I did to bootstrap DCC. ————– What does he mean by, "create an assignment"? Does he want me to create directories beside the ones mentioned elsewhere? I couldn't find a Dmakefile anywhere. I'm not familiar with dmake. Does this have anything to do with the UNIX make? Thnx Steve
