have you put the "\djgpp\bin" directory into your Path? if not, this is
probably the reason why you can't find the "gcc.exe" file. it resides in
the "\bin" directory. somewhere in the installation documentation it should
tell you to add these lines to your "autoexec.bat" file:

set DJGPP=c:\djgpp\djgpp.env
set PATH=%path%;c:\djgpp\bin

where "c:\djgpp" is the directory you've installed it to. these lines
should go *after* your existing "set PATH =" line.

then, to compile the program, just type (after rebooting with the above
changes to your autoexec.bat file):

gcc hello.c

and it will give you "a.exe" which should be your program.

good luck!
