remarks in config.bat for more information about locations and
versions.
If you are compiling on an MSDOG-like system which has long file
names, you may need to do `SET LFN=y' for some of the commands,
especially the compilation commands. It might be more convenient to
unpack the Emacs distribution with djtar, which comes with djgpp;
djtar truncates file names to 8.3 naming as it extracts files, even if
the system allows long file names, and this ensures that build
procedures designed for 8.3 file names still work. Use as in `djtar x
foo.tar' or `djtar x foo.tgz'.
Some users report that running Emacs 19.29 requires dpmi memory
management. We do not know why this is so, since 19.28 did not need
it. If we find out what change introduced this requirement, we will
try to eliminate it. It is possible that this problem happens only
when there is not enough physical memory on the machine.

try to eliminate it. ("May" because perhaps djgpp version 2's
improved dpmi handling means this is no longer a problem.)
It is possible that this problem happens only when there is not enough
physical memory on the machine.
You can find out if you have a dpmi host by running go32 (part of
djgpp) without arguments; it will tell you if it uses dpmi memory.
