are you sure you read those files? the following is from readme.1st:

Compilation
-----------

GCC is a command-line compiler, which you invoke from DOS command
line.  To compile and link a single-file C program, use a command like
this:

        gcc myfile.c -o myfile.exe -lm

The -lm links in the lib/libm.a library (trig math) if needed.  (Link
order is significant, so if you need libm.a, always put `-lm' at the
end of the command line.)

etc etc

if you want to use an integrated development environment, you will need
to download rhide, it is available form the download site as well., and
it is mentioned in the readme.1st file right below the preceding quote.
