Hi again,

I doubt it'd be the makefile.
I use nmake with VC anyway but I tried it with gnu make and it works too.

I went through hell setting it up ......
I tried everything environment variables, linker scripts ect.
But then I extracted it to C:\psx3
and it worked first go.

I stress make sure it's in C:\psx3

Are you sure it's the right one 'cause he has a few compilers there.

I just quickly install a fresh one.
All I had to do was change one line in djsetup.bat (to use gcc instead of
mips-unknown-ecoff-gcc).
I compiled my music C++ program just fine.

In my ftp site (~mgarcia) is a zip file which has the program and  there is a
file called
gcc281.txt ,
it is what my gcc281.zip contains.

Suerte!
