Greetings, while I'm new to this list, I have used djgpp v1.09.  I recently 
aquired v1.10 from math.utexas.edu and I cannot get it to link object files
(*.o).  I can compile (gcc -c) fine, but I can not make it create the a.out 
format file that I can convert with aout2exe.  Here's my situation:

djgpp v1.10 snatched from math.utexas.edu in /pub/msdos/djgpp

c:\djgpp was created and unpacked:

djdev100.zip
gas211bn.zip (readme says gas221bn.zip, I cannot find it; is this a typo?)
gcc241bn.zip

my environment variables are:

PROMPT=$p$g

:\DATATOOL;C:\DJGPP\BIN;C:\PERL;C:\EMTEX
windir=C:\WINDOWS

Here's what happens:


C:\C>gcc -v
Reading specs from C:\DJGPP\LIB/specs
gcc version 2.4.1

C:\C>type main.c
main () {}

C:\C>gcc -c main.c

C:\C>rm main.o

C:\C>gcc main.c -o main
Bad command or file name

C:\C>gcc -c main.c

C:\C>gcc main.o -o main
Bad command or file name

C:\C>

So anyway as you can see, it appears that ld.exe (or some equivalent) is
missing.  Is they archive at utexas missing something?  Did I miss soemthing?

Or did I just fuck up?
