can you get a simple Hello World program to compile?

#include "stdio.h"

main ()
{
    printf("Hello World\n");
}

Now that program works for me in DJGPP and Visual C++.

Makefiles are a mystery all their own, look at the DJGPP help files or get a
good C book like "The C Programming Language" By Brian W.Kernighan and
Dennis M.Ritchie... it covers ANSI C and not anything mangled by Microsoft.

BTW did you download rhide the IDE for DJGPP, it's all dos based but it puts
many Windows efforts to shame...
