[Oslib-devel] DJGPP and Windows XP = ar problem?

[Paul D. <du...@ho...>]

I commented out the only line from <djgppdir>/lib/djgpp.ver which is now:
// include <sys/version.h>

...
This allowed me to go to:
gcc -Wall -O -finline-functions -fno-builtin -nostdinc -D__GNU__ -I.. 
-D__VIRCSW
__ -c vm86.c
gcc -Wall -O -finline-functions -fno-builtin -nostdinc -D__GNU__ -I.. 
-D__VIRCSW
__ -c xbios.c
xbios.c: In function `x_bios_address':

c:\djgpp\bin/ar.exe: libhx.a: rename: Not enough memory (ENOMEM)
make.exe: *** [libhx.a] Error 1

Well, I begin to think the problem is that I am on Windows XP.
The computer have 512Mb so I doubt I really have not enough memory:

G:\oslib\oslib\xlib>go32-v2
go32/v2 version 2.0 built Dec 24 2001 21:25:02
Usage: go32 coff-image [args]
Rename this to go32.exe only if you need a go32 that can run v2 binaries as
well as v1 binaries (old makefiles).  Put ahead of the old go32 in your PATH
but do not delete your old go32 - leave it in the PATH after this one.
Set GO32_V2_DEBUG=y in the environment to get verbose output.

DPMI memory available: 238123 Kb
DPMI swap space available: 0 Kb

I had read something about problems of DJGPP with Windows XP.
Maybe that's what's happening with ar?


Now, I can't simply boot with FreeDOS and go on my hard-drive to compile, 
because
... because this is NTFS partition, I think...

So I am thinking... Maybe some space left on the disk to install oslib and 
DJGPP in a plain
FAT partition.

I like to see how problems comes in tree in programming world. :-)

Maybe just compiling myself binutils could help...
