That's one of the potential problems I suspected, and which I asked
you to show your compilation command line for.

The output files are by default created in the current directory. 'cd'
to where the sources are, before you compile, and the .o and .exe will
be there, too.

Nowhere particular. It knows how the C compiler works, and
automatically does the right thing (most of the time).

None. RHIDE doesn't call 'make'.

Read 'README.1st' again, for that.

For thorough information about Makefiles, read 'info make'
