2.3.1 Windows 95/98, MS-DOS and Windows 3.x using DJGPP

On these platforms DJGPP can be used. GNU Go installation has been tested in a DOS-Box with long filenames on Windows 95/98. GNU Go compiles out-of-the box with the DJGPP port of GCC using the standard Unix build and install procedure.

Some URLs for DJGPP:

DJGPP home page: http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/

DJGPP ftp archive on simtel:

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/

ftp://ftp.simtel.net/pub/simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2gnu/

Once you have a working DJGPP environment and you have downloaded the GNU Go source available as gnugo-3.6.tar.gz you can build the executable as follows:

            tar zxvf gnugo-3.6.tar.gz
            cd gnugo-3.6
            ./configure
            make

Optionally you can download GLib for DJGPP to get a working version of snprintf.
