DJGPP love Window$ ? (Developers)

Hi Roberto,

did you enable long file name support on your DOS PC? DJGPP will not compile without that!

You can load doslfn and then it will compile, but MUCH, MUCH slower than in a Windows XP DOS box. So I develop in a Windows XP DOS box or I would never get finished. I did not try it for a long time but I think it would take over an hour to compile Dillo in real mode DOS with doslfn loaded.

I guess one could copy the required files to an XMSDISK and develop there but I did not try that yet.
