Good Folk,

I have recently loaded DJGPP onto a Win2K platform. I use RHIDE, and
everything is working fine - as long as it stays on my PC!  If I send a
compiled program to somebody else with Win2K, when they attempt to execute
the program, a DOS box opens on their screen them immediately closes again -
and that's it. Show over!

A colleague of mine also uses DJGPP, but he doesn't use RHIDE - he uses some
other editor, then compiles with the line :

gcc -Wall -O2 -o myprog.exe myprog.c

and his compiled programs work on other Win2K machines.

RHIDE on my machine executes

gcc -g -c myprog.c -o myprog.o

then

gcc -o myprog.exe myprog.o

I have messed about with the settings for the compile and linker options a
bit, but I can't make it compile a program that somebody else can use. If I
come out of RHIDE and execute the line that my colleague uses, of course, it
works, but what am I doing wrong in RHIDE?

Any help or pointers appreciated.

Mike.
