Well, gpc alpha 05/10 still says "ld: can't find djgpp.lnk"
BUT, "gpc -v" says "2.0(2.7.2.1)" and not an alpha version number.
Did I install it right?  I think so.  gpc2.0 (non alpha) used to work
fine.

"gcc -v" reports 2.7.2.1 and works. (compiles hello.c ;)
/djgpp/manifest has djdev201.mft, so I think I have djgpp v2.01.
I only started  using djgpp after 2.01 came out.  Is there any
other way to find out? (yes, seems like a newbie question ;)

I checked my path, and djgpp's ld.exe seems to be the one that gets
executed (I also have fpk-pascal, which has an older version).
Is there any way I can check version numbers (compared to what?) of these?

Can I do something like "gpc --"keep all temporary files" and examine
those?  What would I be looking for??

I tried both command line, and rhide.

I (currently) don't have the disk space to install the source tree, and
the files created while compiling.  so I can't check that.


On a side note:
gpc.inf doesn't work (no top node)
But gpc.inf and gpc.i1 both reference and contain a top node.  I
can't see why "info --file gpc.inf" complains...

gcc.inf/gcc.i1 look the same (at least in structure) and work.
