Re: How to compile GSL using DJGPP ?

["GnuWin32" <gnuwin32 at users dot sourceforge dot net>]

Gsl should compile in the standard way using Djgpp-2 if Djgpp is installed
on an MS-Windows system; Djgpp can then handle long file names. Just run
configure and make. I'm not absolutely certain there will be no errors, but
they will probably be minor ones.
Under plain DOS, you might indeed run into trouble with the 8+3
filename-restriction; see the Djgpp FAQ on how to work around this.

Vijay:

The reason that it doesn't appear on the supported platforms list is because
DOS
only supports 8.3 file names.  But, GSL has some file names that are longer
than
31 characters.  There are probably ways that you can get around this, but
nobody
has done it yet.
