Try this:
- open a DOS box.
- type "set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%" (without the quotes) and hit [Enter].
- type "set DJGPP=C:\DJGPP\DJGPP.ENV" (without the quotes) and hit [Enter].
- start RHIDE from the DOS box by typing "rhide [Enter]".
- try to compile a simple hello world program and see if it works.
The above assumes that you unzipped DJGPP in the directory C:\DJGPP. If
that is not true, change the above file names as appropriate.
There should be a file called README.1ST where you unzipped the files,
which has some moe installation and initial usage information. It's a
plain text file, so you can read it with Notepad or something.
