That should be:

gcc -Wall world.c -o world

(see section 1 of the FAQ)

ok.

Not ok.  C:\DJGPP\BIN should be at the front of the PATH.  Also you
don't need C:\DJGPP\INCLUDE in the PATH.  Just delete those two and
add the following line *after* the PATH line:

set PATH=C:\DJGPP\BIN;%PATH%

(this is also in section 1 of the FAQ)
