Hi,

Part 1:
Can't give you much help if you don't give us the versions of files you
have downloaded and error message you get etc. You should have txi312b.zip
(gives you info) and mak377b.zip. All you need to run info on the "make"
node is your INFOPATH environment variable set to the directory containing
make.inf eg INFOPATH= c:\djgpp\info.

Part 2:
I think your problem is when compiling from test.o to test.exe you
are using the -c command line option to gcc. This option stops linking
occurring. Use COPTS for compiling C code and something else
for when you want to link your *.o to *.exe.

Hope this helps
