I have two questions concerning DJGPP.
1. When I installed DJGPP for dos on my PC I noticed a small bug or maybe
feature that was attached to the executables. I compiled a small program
and found if I execute it from DOS or the MSDOS prompt(I use Win95), the
program's name can be typed anywhere on the HD
(C:\, C:\WINDOWS, C:\DUKE3D, etc.) The compiler also can be executed
anywhere on the HD. I tried renaming my executable, but no luck.
Does anybody know why this is happening?
2. When I compiled a one source program that I created(very small, maybe 20
lines) using "gcc -o myfile.exe myfile.c", the file compiled fine, but it
takes a whopping 100K of memory. Just to check if this was normal, I
compiled the same file using MSVC 1.0, the file size was only 10K.
Am I doing something wrong when compiling the file, or is this normal?
Thanks for anyone's help.
