Can somone please PLEASE walk me through the EXACT menu : actions in it to get it to compile such a stupid program from a clean : state where nothing has been configured in it yet, and then run it form : withing RHIDE? It keeps compiling into an object file and then saying it : can't find some kind of other file. How the heck do I get it to compile : to an .exe? : RHIDE looks powerful but man! Two (literally) hours to get it to do a : simple "Hello World" and no luck? They say its like TP6's IDE (which I : know and love) but this?!? : Maybe I should drop it and rather use my old TP6 IDE? I downloaded the basic C stuff and rhide for djgpp yesterday. The only problem I had was forgetting to put djgpp in the path. I wrote the program and saved it as hello.c and then I hit F9. That is the make keyboard shortcut.. worked fine... One thing I noticed was that once I made it I couldn't remake it later for some reason.... but that problem happened only after I was messing with the options and then disappeared when I erased the options save files... btw here's what I had as the program: #include int main() { puts("Hello World!\n"); return(0); } that's it... just hit F9 and you suddenly have a hello.exe that works fine...! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- joshd __ __ ____ ___ ___ ____ joshd AT primenet DOT com /__)/__) / / / / /_ /\ / /_ / / / \ / / / / /__ / \/ /___ / -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
