Alright, I've been working with djgpp for about the past 7 hours and I 
am getting very frustrated with what is probably so very simple, that 
I'll kick myself.  First off, I am new to djgpp but not to gcc.  I've 
been working with my machine as a Linux box for some time now but feel 
the need to expand my horizons a bit into Dos and Windoze programming.  
I've poured throught the FAQ and info docs for the answers too the 
following questions but obviously didn't find them so here we go:
1)	I have to tell gcc where the libraries are every time I try to 
compile a piece of code, ie I must include -I\djgpp\include and 
-I\djgpp\cplusinc when I want to compile C++ code.  How to I set the path 
to the C++ include files.  I haven't altered the djfpp.env file and I 
though that would take care of itself with "SET DJGPP=..\../djgpp.env" 
from my autoexec.bat.  I get this setting from the testit.bat file in 
samples/hello.
2)	Along the same lines, what do I have to do differently to compile 
c++ code aside from naming file *.cpp or *.cc or whatever.  I can't seem 
to get C code to compile all of the time.
3)	While trying to compile a Hello World C++ program like this:
gcc test.cpp -I\djgpp\cplusinc -I\djgpp\include
I get this: c:/djgpp/bin/ld.exe: cannot open crt0.o: file not found
Why isn't this file found/created while compiling?  How can I get this 
simple 5 line code to compile?  
Your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.
