Generally, I use DJGPP in a Windows console to compile.  However, when I'm
compiling in DOS, I don't automatically run DOSLFN.  In fact, I rarely use
DOSLFN with DJGPP in DOS.  Most of DJGPP's filenames, and my own, are 8.3
compliant.  I.e., wait until it complains, then run an LFN driver.

IIRC, there are certain DJGPP files that need LFNs enabled for DJGPP to find
them.  From what I've seen, these are usually POSIX related files.

One such example is "syslimits.h" gets included occasionally.  I don't know
why.  It's not in the normal include directory.  Nothing in the normal
include directory actually seems to include it...  You might ask on
comp.os.msdos.djgpp.  The Google Groups archive of c.o.m.d. shows
people asking about the issue a very infrequently.

To fix the issue in DOS, you have to run an LFN driver, such as DOSLFN, and
also set DJGPP's LFN variable as LFN=y in DJGPP.ENV.   LFN=y should be the
default.  Some people compile for pure DOS without LFNs by using LFN=n.  Or,
you have to rename "syslimits.h" to "syslimit.h" (8.3) by removing the "s"
and change the included name in the sources to "syslimit.h" by removing the
"s".  Or you can change the name in the source to whatever SFN is in use,
e.g., "syslim~1.h".  Or, you can change the source code to use a different
include with the needed include info.  All of that's fine for your source or
the source you're trying to compile, but I don't know where that gets
included when DJGPP system files wants it...

For a Windows console, LFNs are provided by Windows, so it shouldn't be an
issue for compiling.  Compiling is much faster under Win98/SE too.
