Hi!.

I have the same problem.
I don't know why it does that, BUT I do know how to bypass it.

Compile the program in RHIDE. This creates an object file with a ".o"
extension.
From RHIDE, goto FILE then DOS SHELL.
Change to the directory in which the object file is.
Say your program is "test.cpp".
When you compiled it, "test.o" is created.

To create the executable file, type in:

        gxx -o test.exe test.o

Say you used the Allegro library with your program, type in:

        gxx -o test.exe test.o -lalleg

You now can run your program by typing "test".

SO...

The syntax goes:

        gxx -o [name of executable file . exe] [name of object file .o]
[library(if any)]

RHIDE does the same, but it adds a -lstdcx switch for some reason I don't
know.
I am using this until I find out how to solve this "-lstdcx" thing.

I hope this helps.

Good luck.
