'gcc junk.c' should produce an executable file 'a.out'.
(that can be run using 'go32 a.out')

Try: gcc -v junk.c    (turns on 'verbose' flag)

This will give you more details.
Probably gcc can't locate 'ld.exe'.
Have you installed '\djgpp\bin\ld.exe' as well ?

You can use 'gcc junk.c -o junk' to specify an explicit output file.
After compilation, use 'coff2exe junk' to create a 'JUNK.EXE' file.
