For instance:
c:\uploads\>md \djgpp
c:\uploads\>copy *.zip \djgpp
c:\uploads\>cd \djgpp
c:\uploads\>pkunzip -d *.zip
Then...
c:\djgpp\>edit hello.c
(do your hello world proggie)
c:\djgpp\>gcc hello.c
c:\djgpp\>a
Typing ``a'' will run the program, since for some reason that I don't know,
when you don't specify an output file it writes a file called ``a.exe''. Oh,
this ``a'' file is likely to be larger than it needs to be, really you
should pick up RHIDE (www.tu-chemnitz.de/~rho) and use it to compile, I have
never used the command line compiler very much, you see, which is why I
don't even know how to specify the output file properly. DJGPP, BTW, is IMHO
a VG compiler, not only suitable in order for you to ``see if you like
programming in c'' but quite suitable for ``making my cool-ass super game''
or ``super-app'' or ``learning cutting edge c++ technologies w/o having to
put up with Win32 overcomplexity'' or ``being part of a loving, caring,
nurturing family'' or ``picking up chicks because now you know something
unix (gcc is originally a unix compiler), and chicks love unix, you should
know that''. At least, that's what it's done for me!!
