Thread: DJGGP question

I just downloaded the necessary files for djggp, i read the readme thru the installation, i did everything it asked, i said "ok now i can use it finally" and boom thats when it hit me. i have nooo freakin clue wtf the readme wants me to do to compile. can someone help me???? its freakin confuzing. i'll reply what it says once i find it, but for now, if you know, ca you tell me?

GCC is a command-line compiler which you invoke from the DOS command
line. To compile and link a single-file C program, use a command like
this:

gcc myfile.c -o myfile.exe -lm

The -lm links in the lib/libm.a library (trig math) if needed. (Link
order is significant, so if you need libm.a, always put `-lm' at the
end of the command line.)

To compile a C or C++ source file into an object file, use this
command line:

gcc -c -Wall myfile.c (for C source)
or
gcc -c -Wall myfile.cc (for C++ source)

This produces the object file myfile.o. The `-Wall' switch turns on
many useful warning messages which are especially beneficial for new
users of GCC. (Other C++ extensions, like .cpp, are also supported,
see section 8.4 of the FAQ, "How does GCC recognize the source
language", for details.)

To link several C object files into an executable program, use a
command line such as this:

gcc -o myprog.exe mymain.o mysub1.o mysub2.o

This produces `myprog.exe' which can be run from the DOS prompt.

To link a C++ program, use gxx instead of gcc, like this:

gxx -o myprog.exe mymain.o mysub1.o mysub2.o

This will automatically search the C++ libraries, so you won't need to
mention them on the command line.

You can also combine the compilation and link steps, like this:

gcc -Wall -o myprog.exe mymain.c mysub1.c mysub2.c

Further info about the plethora of GCC switches can be found in the
GCC on-line documentation. To begin reading it, install the Texinfo
package (txi*b.zip, see the ``On-line docs'' section below) and type
this:
