Not a problem, though in general it's probably better to post
here.

No big deal.  We all make mistakes.  :-)

Honestly, I'm not sure.

Given that, as you say, there were no errors or warnings emitted
I would assume that everything ran to completion successfully,
including the linker.  If I artificially move the linker out of
the way on my system so that there is no `ld` binary and run
`oo2c`, I get an error:

term% oo2c -M src/hello.Mod 2>&1
collect2: fatal error: cannot find 'ld'
compilation terminated.
term%

That suggests to me that if there were a problem either invoking
the linker or it encountered some kind of error, you'd see a
message of some kind.

What files _do_ exist for you?

And what does your module look like now?
