Hello,

After many tries, I can compile a simple fortran file, but I cannot link it.
I use the Rhide developping tool under Win95. I use recent versions of all
files (DJGPP, Rhide, etc.) which I downloaded and installed last week (05/99).

Simple file tested:   simptest.f
Content of simptest.f:

       real x, poly
       print *, 'What value of x?'
       read *,x
       poly = 2.0*(x**4) - 15.0*(x**3)-2.0*(x**2)+120.0*x-130.0
       print *, 'For x = ', x, ' the value of the polynomial is ', poly
       end

Compile: no errors

"Make" gives the following error message:

Error: d:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open -lf2c: No such file or directory
(ENOENT)

I have searched all over to conclude that I am missing the libf2c.a library
(or something similar). I have found a few source codes of this library,
and tried to compile them without much success.    (How is a "makefile"
used under DOS/Win95 ????  or do I use Rhide to compile/make this library???)

I really need advice as I have to get this compiler running (to compile
fortran files) within a couple of days.

Thank you,

Karel
