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.

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.

Somebody reported on the list that they had compiled an earlier
version of GSL some time back.  You should find the message about it
in the mailing list archives at http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gsl-discuss/
if you search for djgpp. Let me know if you succeed in compiling
it.  To run the tests see the "MACHINES" file in the distribution 
for instructions on increasing the stack size.

How to compile GSL using DJGPP ?

[Vijaya C Ramasami (Vijay)]

Hi,

 I just downloaded GSL from sources.redhat.com. I am using a MS-DOS
version of the GNU C++ compiler (called DJGPP). I don't know how to
compile the source code using this version of gcc. MS-DOS does not
appear on the list of compiled platforms. 

Please help..

-Vijay.
