That's not the exact message text (it certainly isn't in upper case,
originally), but luckily it's close enough to be recognizable...

The latter command should not display that message (in '-c' mode,
stubify is not used).

This almost certainly is not the problem. Other warnings and errors
would have occured, first, if the PATH setting wasn't correct.  This
particular error of stubify.exe not being found has only crept up
since some book company made a CD for one of those 'learn C++' books
where stubify.exe is simply not expanded at all. Unpack it by hand
(from the djdev202.zip or whatever version there is), and all should
be well.

To test if this is your problem: in the same directory (mentioned in
your PATH environment variable) where 'gxx.exe' and 'gcc.exe' are,
there has to be a 'stubify.exe'. If it isn't there, you have a broken
installation.
