The compiler is called gcc.exe so if you want to compile a file called test.c the syntax would be 'gcc test.c -o test.exe' . >>And how do you give a name to the file when you compile it The -o switch above indicates what the output file should be ( if you wanted the output file to be hello.exe the command would be 'gcc test.c -o hello.exe' ) . There are a lot of other switches for example '-O3' would perform optimizations. >> And how do you open the editor to create a program ? There is a IDE for DJGPP called RHIDE you can download at the same FTP site you got DJGPP from or at DJ's website. It is good and it has a similar interface to BORLAND's product's. It has a menu driven interface and a good help system available. If you already have it just type RHIDE at the dos prompt and press enter. >>The last and final question is this compiler same as phobos in >>the way program written ? Sorry Josh but i don't know anything about phobos. Maybe someone else might help you. BTW Why don't you download the DJGPP FAQ. It has lot's of information for anyone. Hope this help's.
