A Guide to Troubleshooting DFE95
--------------------------------

Having reached version 3.2 of the djgpp front-end, I thought
it would be nice to include this help file, in the form of an faq,
which goes over the common problems I've noticed people having.

Q: OK, I'm trying to edit a file, but I type and nothing comes up in
the source window!
A: Change the font.  I can't seem to reproduce this bug on my own system
but as soon as I do I'll fix it.

Q: Whenever I compile, it says "no messages recieved from gcc", and
no .exe file is written to disk! What's going on?
A: You haven't set you gcc path in the options menu.  Select the "browse"
button and point the program to the exact location of gcc.exe.

Q: Ack! I have a number of files in my project, and I get weird link
errors when I try to compile!
A: Don't sweat it.  You can work around this by selecting "Export and 
Make" from the project menu.  Remember that for this to work, make must
be installed on your system, and you must have set the path in the
options menu.

Q: I have a C++ file which I'm trying to compile, but it gives me weird
errors about not knowing what class ostream is or something.
A: Remember that DFE uses gcc rather than gxx, so link with the proper
libraries, in this case libiostr.a, in order to get it compile right.

Q: I'm having really weird problems which nothing seems to help!
A: Calm down. It may be that your .dll's or .exe are corrupted.  Try 
installing DFE again from scratch, and download the .dll's from the
website and put them in your windows\system folder even if they exist
there already.

Q: I LOVE your front-end, but it doesn't quite work right, and none of
the above suggestions have helped.  What should I do?
A: email me at kased811@ix.netcom.com, or come on irc (efnet) to the
channel #C and talk to me...I'm usually on as "OpenGL" because I have
no life.
