Re: [Dev-C++] CreateProcess balks during compile operation

[Doug M. <dou...@al...>]

Alvin: Thanks for the suggestion.  I have added the gcc binary and lib 
directory paths to the tools->compiler options->directories->binaries 
list as well as the gcc library path to the tools->compiler 
options->directories->libraries list.  Didn't get rid of the problem 
though... By now you'll have seen my other thread.  I got down another 
layer last night and g++.exe is exiting with "not enough memory" 
(ENOMEM).  I'm still seeing this after the changes above.

One thing about all this I don't understand is why dev-c++ doesn't have 
its own sh.exe for dispatching make commands.  Do you know the reason 
for this?  If I didn't have \DJGPP\bin in my PATH, what would it do?
