Rhide error

[Nick]

The first time i used djgpp i tryed to compile an os i downloaded i got an error: cannot specify -o with -c or -S and multiple complantions
so i tryed another one and i got the same error when i tryed a pece of dos source code from a book i still got this error every time even if the auther is diferent

And so how is this an rhide error?

It's perfectly legal to combine -o with -c or -S

-o file
  outputs to file
-c
  only compiles, does no linking
-S
  creates assembly language output

What's the exact error?
Sounds odd... like a cracked djgpp binary... or the wrong switches (they're case sensitive).

When i compile anything i get this error no matter what it is
even when i dont use these switches
I'm confused to.

You still didn't answer my question, though... how does rhide fit into this?  Rhide != djgpp.  Are you compiling withen rhide?  That'll produce a whole bunch of problems in an of itself, seeing as though most of the OSs I've seen are meant to compile with specialized makefiles... rhide isn't always up to the task of osDev'ing

You get the problems even without using the switches?!  Interesting...

Is this a new djgpp installation?  Has it worked before?  Have you changed your djgpp.env recently?  Is your environment variable set properly?

The only thing I can think of is to try reinstalling your djgpp distrib... at the very least, the djgpp.env file.

Sorry I can't be of more help.
