I am using DJGPP V2.01and RHIDE. I have been using them for 3 days. 
I have tried to teach myself c and c++. I wrote a standard "Hello, World"
program, and it chrashed. I was running under a DOS box in W3.1 so I 
wouldn't have to fool with DPMI. The program is as follows.
#include "include/stdio.h"
void main() {
      printf("Hello World", %s); 
}
First it complained about a file, include/sys/djtypes.h, which it said
was missing. (It wasn't.) I played around with <>s and "" and finally 
got that fixed.  Then it said somthing about a parse error before the %.
Finally, it compiled. I ran the program and got shot back to windows,
where it said HELLO.EXE had violated system integrity. HOW DOES 
"HELLO, WORLD" VIOLATE SYSTEM INTEGRITY. Any thoughts?

Also, I downloaded the C++ compiler and library files. The library files
say I have to run a makefile or something like that. How do I do that?

Also, I learned the syntax and rules and all that.. Now what do I do
with this? I can't think of any programs to write. I don't know 
any graphics or anything like that Any tips for a beginner?
