What i really wanted was the djgpp.env file -- which i accidentally found (i was just going thru files and i opened that one up. The problem i had been having was that i had saved the file as .c , and iostream.h is for c++. Djgpp.env had a path to /include for .c files, and a path to /include and a path to /lang/cxx/ for cpp files. so once i changed it to .cpp the program worked with the iostream.h I do have one last, less important question now, though: When i have test.cpp in one directory /djgpp/myprograms/ how can i get the test.o and test.exe to be created in the same directory instead of just in /djgpp??? Also, when i click compile and then make in Rhide, where is it getting the instructions on what to do?? What makefile is it using to 'make' ?? There are like 8 makefiles in /djgpp but I don't know if it is using any of those. When i hit 'make' or 'compile' it gives me a line of instructions which disappears when it finishes compiling (b/c my programs are simple compilation is shot, so i don't have time to see what it says) and then that buffer is gone and I can't find out what it said. I'm trying to learn what I would type at the command line if there was no 'compile' or 'make' button, or what i would put into a makefile. Can anyone direct me to anywhere where i can learn how to use makefiles and how to compile/make from the command line? Is it in the manpages or info files? Thanks so much for helping such a newbie at all this ... Charles
