Are you using the RHIDE editor/IDE or are you running DJGPP from the
command line?

In RHIDE, you specify libraries to link in the Libraries menu.  From the
command line, use the '-l<lib>' parameter.

In both cases, you need only specify the portion of the name between
"lib" and ".a".  For example, libc.a would be 'c' in RHIDE or '-lc' on
the command line, liballeg.a would be 'alleg' in RHIDE or '-lalleg' on
the command line.

libc.a is automatically linked in for all C and C++ programs.  For C++
programs, you must either specify '-lgpp' on the gcc command line, or
use gxx.exe which does this for you.
