Ok I've finally got around the -lstdcx error and got a new one: 
Installation error cannot find 'stubify.'
So I copied stubify.exe into the bin dir and it ran alright. But now when 
I make a simple EXE file that just displays 'Hello, world' it's bloody 
293K! Why is it so big? I checked the FAQ and it suggested using the -s 
switch when compiling. So I tried that but the file is still like 140K! 
What gives? How can I make the file smaller?
