Yes, I did check those examples and they do work. I am using vbcc. However why the simple printf call doesn't work?

My make file looks as follows (exactly as the one in the link):

CC=vc
LDFLAGS=-nostdlib

HELLO_EXE=hello
HELLO_OBJS=hello.o

all: $(HELLO_EXE)

$(HELLO_EXE) : $(HELLO_OBJS) 
    $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -nostdlib -o $(HELLO_EXE) $(HELLO_OBJS)

%.o : %.c
   $(CC) -c -o $@ $<

That said running vc or gcc or vbcc from Shell returns Unknown command.

maybe attach the makefile

#1) with just this small source code, you may build it without a makefile:

gcc hello.c -o hello.exe

that's easier than updating the Makefile with any new source file.

#2) if you are using vbcc, here are some examples
