Hey All,

Well... I got DJGPP up and running now.  Looks great.  Yesterday, I finally
managed to get RHIDE & the Allegro graphics library installed.  I was very
impressed with both of them.  However, I seem to be having a few problems with
Rhide.

I duplicated my MSVC++ project into anotehr directory, and deleted all the
none source & header files (ie the stuff which MSVC sticks in to co-ordinate
a project), and started Rhide.  I created a new project and then stuck all
the '.CPP' files in it.  Double clicking doesn't edit them, and the project
won't even start compiling...  I know there is alot of conversion I need to do
to get it to work, but...hmmm.  I read something in the manual about case
sensitivity on the filenames.  Do I have to go through and rename all my files
so that they end in '.cpp', and '.h'?  

Also, dependencies.  MSVC++ automatically scans for dependencies when you
change the project.  Does Rhide do this?  I notice that you pres CTRL-I to
bring up the includes for a specific file.  I don't have to type these in
manually do I?  This project is rather huge... and some files include alot
of other stuff and it would be quite annoying to have to do this by hand.  Or
does Rhide do it, and just allow you to view/edit the include list?

I have to say 'WELL DONE' to the author of Rhide.  DJGPP is a nice compiler,
and having at last, a decent IDE to work with, is great.


Oh yeah, one other question.  I downloaded the archive 'mikalleg10.zip', which
is the combination of MikMod & Allegro.  Everything has been built fine.  No
problems there.  Does allegro use the wonderful DJGPP memory management? 

Rhide told me my memory situation was '8M / 6M'.  Does this really mean I can
finally write a program which is graphic intensive and may need to store
megabytes of graphic/sound data?  I do hope so...

Sorry if I have been barking up the wrong tree with the wrong end of the stick
....
