[Bug c/30741] New: Error when trying to compile under DOS on a Vista machine

[ggiordano at verizon dot net]

I installed DJGPP on my new laptop running Vista.  When I type gcc filename.c I
get the following error:

C:\DJGPP\gcc410b\bin>GCC PROG1.C
gcc.exe: Internal error: (null) (program cc1plus)
Please submit a full bug report.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

I'm a hardware engineer taking my first C class andI have no idea what this
means. This program compiles and runs fine on my XP machine as well as on my
WIN2000 machine.  Is this related to Vista or is it possible I didn't install
DJGPP correctly?

For starters, gcc is case sensitive.  When you passed it PROG1.C instead of
prog1.c, you're telling it to compile a C++ program.  Did you install the C++
compiler?  Do you get the same error if you use prog1.c instead of PROG1.C ?

That was it.  I thought I'd been mixing case all along and that it didn't
matter under DOS but apparantly I'm mistaken.

Now, it won't recognize stdio.h.  I think this is an install problem.  I wish
there was a simpler install of gcc instead of this DJGPP.

Thanks.

Did you follow the zip-picker instructions?  You have to use a djgpp-aware
unzip program to install, or the filenames get all messed up.

I had already installed DJGPP at work and it worked fine (Windows 2K).  I
installed it at home on my XP system and it didn't work.  I installed it at
home on my Vista machine and it didn't work.  I took my Vista laptop to work,
copied the complete install from my W2K machine onto my Vista machine and it
now works.  I have no idea why.  I did all of this installing over a period of
3 days so I don't think I was doing anything differently each time.  I don't
need it on my XP home machine so I deleted it.

As a hardware engineer, I find all this very puzzling but its now all working
so I'll move on.  Do I need to file an update to the bug or can you just close
it out?

Thanks for following up.
