it looks like you misunderstood his response.

when you double click on rhide to start it, windows sets its working 
directory to where rhide lives (i.e. the bin directory in the djgpp 
tree). AFAIK, rhide puts the exe files it generates in the current 
working directory.

that is why you should open a command window, change to the directory 
where you want the executable to be created (usually the root of your 
project), and then start rhide on the command prompt.

in addition, you can use the Project -> main targetname option to set the 
location of the target.
