Hey all,

This will show me off to be a complete newbie, but I'll continue anyway.
I've just downloaded the required files (ie followed the instructions
from http://www.castle.net/~avly/) and got :

Required	Recommended
---------------------------
djdev201.zip	gpp2721.zip
gcc2721b.zip	lgp271b.zip
bnu27b.zip	gdb416b.zip
txi390b.zip	mak375b.zip
csdmpi3.zip

So, having unzipped all these and edited the path line on my autoexec
accordingly, I wrote a small test c program and tried to compile it.
Nothing special, just a "Hello World." program. It compiled OK as near
as I can tell, there being no output when I used the command :

gcc -c hellow.c

But the command :

gcc -o hellow.o hellow.c

Came up with :

C:\GPP>gcc -o hellow.o hellow.c
C:\GPP\BIN/ld.exe: cannot open crt0.o: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)

I've been getting the same error since. Could anyone tell me what I
could be doing wrong. It's occured to me I might be missing a file or
have it misplaced, but otherwise I'm not sure what's wrong. Any help
would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Tim Hamilton
