Thatīs clear, since the GNU linker is a one-pass-linker and it
sees at first the library and _after_ this the object file, which needs
functions from the library but now the linker has forgotten the
library.

Of course I know. Your fault is, that you have placed the the -lcurso
option
in the "Options/Linker options", but this entry should be used _only_
for some special options which you want to to pass to the linker (like
-s or --cref or ...). To tell RHIDE to link in your program a library
there
is an other menu entry with a very "confusing" :-) name
"Options/Libraries".
Simply add there in an empty line (propably the first) your library name
(without the lib and the .a), in your case only curso, and then turn
the checkbox before it on. Now it should work.

The commandline which RHIDE uses now to link your program should be

gcc -Lc:/djgpp/contrib/pdcurs22/lib -o program.exe program.o -lcurso
