DJGPP
A 32bit C/C++ Compiler
DJGPP is a freely available 32-bit development system, based on the GNU
development suite, that runs on and produces programs for PC compatible
computers with a 386 or higher processor and running DOS or a DOS-compatible
operating system or emulator.
Features of Djgpp
-
DJGPP is freely available.
Note that the intent here is that you can legally copy
DJGPP from a friend, even if you
don't pay a cent for it, but it does not imply that
you are entitled to a no-cost copy of
DJGPP, or that you may not charge a fee for it.
Please note, however, that there are a
few "official" ways of getting DJGPP, and these
should be checked to make sure you
have the latest version if you get your copy from
some other source (BBS, friends, etc).
DJGPP is also a "royalty free" system, in that you
may (in most cases) sell programs you
write with any terms and conditions you want.
In order to use DJGPP, or run any program you write
with DJGPP, you must have a
32-bit CPU in your machine. This means an 386, 486,
etc. You cannot use djgpp on a
286. However, all your programs will use 32-bit
integers, 32-bit pointers, and will no
longer worry about running into the 64K or 640K
barriers.
-
DJGPP is a development system.
The purpose of DJGPP is to give you the ability to create
new software, from scratch.
Since you and the computer don't speak the same
language, what you type must somehow
be converted into a language the computer understands.
This is what a development
system does. DJGPP includes all the tools you need
to develop programs, including an
editor (emacs), compiler (gcc), debugger (gdb),
and the runtime (libc).
-
DJGPP is based on the GNU development suite.
Most of the core programs of DJGPP, like gcc, as, ld,
and gdb, come from the GNU
project, which is creating set of freely redistributable
Unix programs, some of which are
a Unix development environment. These programs have
been ported to DJGPP and are
used to form the core of its development tools.

project, see http://www.fsf.org/

I will keep upgrading it as soon as there
is a new one
