Hello Lawrence,

First of all, emx.exe is a dos extender for running 32 bit programs under
dos.  To compile hello.c, you use:

gcc hello.c

next:
emx09a which I have, came as a number of zip files.  Unziping emxdev.zip
created, amongst others, a emx/lib directory.  Running omflibs created the
.lib files.

I strongly recommend that you start by using BAKE (bakev100.zip). You
create a bake file, for example, klud24.bke which is for one of my
programs:

***************cut here************
klud24.exe
kludger4.c
readcfg4.c
dll32.lib
***************cut here************

and then type:

bake klud24.bke

You end up with a standalone klud24.exe

The documentation with bake will tell you which command line parameters it
is using, which should give you an accelerated start to learning the gcc
compiler. Then read gnudev.doc.  Have you got this and the compiler?  It's
in gnudev.zip (at least it was in version 9a).  Looking at your emx\bin
directory, it looks like you haven't got it.  You haven't got emxdev.doc
(or emxdev.inf) either.
