Regarding the error message :
Trying to compile C++ files gives:

c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open -1stdcx: No such file or directory

I have noticed a lot of posts in this 
group about this and must admit it kept
me amused for a day and a half trying
to figure this out


Though it took a long time to find it,
the answer is documented in this file:- 

D:\DJGPP\gnu\gcc-2.81\problems.txt

(I shall not reproduce it here, bandwidth etc)

Two options are suggested, the first didn't 
work for me, but the second did. I thik this 
may be a good item to see in the FAQ list

Happy Coding

Kevin
