Meetze III) To: djgpp AT sun DOT soe DOT clarkson DOT edu I found out the problem with ld, but now I am needing help compiling a program. I typed: gcc -Wall -pedantic psx.c and the file I got back was a.out . Now I know that this isn't a dos executable file. What do I have to do to make it an executable dos file. Just in case I did the right thing I renamed the a.out file aout.exe just for experimentation and if I run it I get an EMM386 exception error. Another question when I boot up I use Emm386, himem, smartdrv, should any of these programs get in the way preventing me from running my program on my machine?
