Hi Brandon,

Try:
gcc -o hello.exe hello.c

or
gcc -c hello.c
gcc -o hello.exe hello.o

The Cygnus gnu-win32 version of GCC is to aid in porting UNIX programs 
to WIN32.  You should have a working knowledge of UNIX.  There are some 
who have taken this work and gotten rid of the UNIX layer (see Colin 
Peters' page and Mumit Khan's page).  

The ln command is a "link" command but it is relation to creating 
pointers to files on disk with a different name.  IE: ln hello.c 
goodbye.c would create a pointer file named goodbye.c pointing to 
hello.c.  If you edit goodbye.c you would really be editing hello.c.  
There are two types of links a "hard link" and a "symbolic link".  The 
hard link is not supported on W95,  to use symbolic links you would use 
"ln -s realfile pointerfile".
