And have you edited djsetup.bat to reflect the locations of the files on the your computer? Are you running 'make' in the right directory? 'makefile' is meant to lie in the directory with the source code to be compiled. The format of the 'makefile' is quite difficult to explain here. Either look at the User Guide or other people's makefiles. > comes up with a error message stating:'libs.h file not found. I need to > know how to solve these problems.

Try http://www.netyaroze-europe.com/~jaycee/setup.html I've explained how to go to 115200 and other things, which may help you. > also gcc or ld can't find crt0.o. What and where is that?

Are you sure you've only got one serial port? You've probably got 2 serial ports - one 9 pin port, which your mouse is using, and one 25 pin port. In this case, you'll need to get a 25 pin to 9 pin converter. Also, you might have to fiddle your BIOS if you find your 25 pin serial port isn't working. Some motherboards have it disabled by default. If you really only have 1 serial port, I'm stuck. I'm not sure if you can buy a card with a serial port on. (Trying to work Windows by keyboard only .... YUCK!) > > It would be helpful if I can have some additional help on C. There are lots of great books out there. I find the "Teach Yourself in 21 days.." series by sams.net very good for absolute beginners. Hope this helps! -- jc
