DJGPP help needed

hello!

i am now up to setup DJGPP to my windows 98 os and not sure, if you can help me out with my question:

i've just downloaded the following files through zip-picker:

v2/copying.dj DJGPP Copyright info 3 kb
v2/djdev203.zip DJGPP Basic Development Kit 1.5 mb
v2/faq230b.zip Frequently Asked Questions 664 kb

v2tk/pdcur24s.zip Curses Emulator 453 kb
v2tk/rsxdj151.zip RSX (Windows GUI Lib) 3.5 mb

after the downloads were finished, i extracted all the files into
C:\DJGPP and put the lines
SET PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH% and
SET DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV
into my autoexec.bat file.

now i want to compile the allegro-examples with gcc.
i tried command line
gcc -o c:\djgpp\allegro\examples\ex1.c ex1.exe and
gcc c:\djgpp\allegro\examples\ex1.c -o ex1.exe
but the program wont work.
not in dos nor in windows console.

can someone help me to set up DJGPP to my system?
contact me ICQ maybe

thank you!

Have you set up allegro properly according to the instructions in the readme? You have to navigate into your allegro directory using command line and then type "make".
It's all in the readme.

oh, i knew i forgot something! :)

just applied make to compile allegro,
the examples and the demo are working.

now i have to questios.
(i am german so i do hard on reading the official faqs)

how to compile simple *.c and *.cc files?
can someone post the syntax please?

when i try the following

gcc -o file.c file.exe or
gxx -c file.cc file.exe

it displays "file.exe - file not found".

and another question:
is there a program added, where i can create my
sourcecode or can i write it in every editor?
can i create them in my msvc++5 program and
just compile it with djgpp?

thanks again & alot! ;)

To the best of my knowledge, it doesn't matter what editor you use to create source code (even notepad!) as long as the code you have written is possible to be compiled in your compiler.

btw, if I am wrong, somebody please correct me. Its the only way i'll learn...

C compilation and linking - output file is file.exe
gcc -o file.exe file.c

C++ compilation only - output will be file.o
gxx -c file.cc

i should better RTFM first next time

(not my pc *g*)
thanks, dune911

I use Dev-C++ to write my code, and compile
with DJGPP.
