DJGPP is a DOS compiler - that means you have to open a DOS window to use
it. It also means that you must use a command line (i.e. type stuff after
gcc.exe, like the .C source filename that it must compile etc.) to control
GCC. You can't just click it in explorer - you need to pass it some
parameters. Have you read the GCC docs? If you want an IDE for DJGPP try to
get RHIDE. If you do not know DOS that well just learn the tiny bit you need
to use GCC correctly - it really is worth it!

Mail again if you have more trouble.

Happy DJGPP'ing!

Kind Regards,

Rylan
