If you are installing the binary distribution, please read the
docs (`info/patch.1' is the man page) and the file NEWS, since
this version has A LOT of changes, including some in the
default behavior.  If you fail to read these docs, you WILL be
surprised!

The source distribution is already configured for DJGPP, so to
compile just say "make".

To reconfigure `patch' for DJGPP, issue these commands from the
`patch' source directory:

	pc\djgpp\configure
	make

To build `patch' in a directory other than where the sources are,
add a parameter that specifies the source directory, e.g.:

    e:\gnu\patch-2.3\pc\djgpp\configure e:/gnu/patch-2.3

You MUST use forward slashes to specify the source directory.

Running configure.bat requires a port of `sed'.
You can find one on the usual DJGPP archive sites.

If your library is stock v2.01, you will need a patched
version of the library function `pathconf' to have `patch'
support numbered backups on Windows 9x.  The patched source
is supplied in the pc/djgpp subdirectory; compile it and put
it into your library before building `patch', like so:

		gcc -c -O3 pathconf.c
		ar rvs c:/djgpp/lib/libc.a pathconf.o
