Call for installation patches and hacks._(re)

According to Kevin A. Foss:

:-(

That's strange because I made *a lot* of tests with the EMX version
on FAT partitions as well as on HPFS partitions to ensure that you
just type

    [I:\emx\gnu\gpc-272] configure            (* configure.cmd *)

and

    [I:\emx\gnu\gpc-272] make        (* make.cmd - calls dmake *)

and GPC compiles through (assumed that you have compiled GCC before).

Are you sure that you aren't using the 2.6.3 EMX patch?  (Of course. ;-)

Please send me your modified Makefile.

You are right! =:-O

Again:  Please send me your modified Makefile.

`dmake' is correct.

No, it's a new bug.  :-)-:  Thank you for the report.
