xchat compile

[robert jorgenson]

its setting it to gcc, im assuming thats normal. I am completely new at this but from reading it looks like the only error it has is the /bin/sh: -o command not found. it looks to me like its trying to run "-o" as its own command but i could be completely wrong. Any other ideas?
