i do get the just of that but alas the key is this... when i hit build there is no disk activity that takes place. if i am not mistaken i will have to use the prc tools after on the exe that is created i think (having no experience myself) thanks for info on the non extention COFF file that may come in handy later. from what i am gathering is that dont need all those programs mentioned at the palm dev tools site ( i see 2 develoment kits as well the gnu compiler and the cgywin g++ compiler ( hey im in windows do i have to have bash loged on befor the palm os dev kit can use it? i have seen that in some of these kinds of thing the user is instructed to enter classpaths (java) or path statments, as well as sometimes registry keys. it is my experience that this stuff works it is mostly user err, so i must be missing something, i can see every file on my system and i know the compile is not executeing, i sure appreciate the suggestions tho, they always have helpful information. ie the debug folder idea, ps. i have searched my whole system for hello.prc;hello.exe and ran a search for hello with no extention, I shall keep lookin might reinstall the dev + the other stuff again.
