Compiling with WLA

I'm having a little trouble with compiling using WLA 65816.

Im using the tutorial from wikibooks:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Super_NES_Programming

I downloaded WLA 9.2 from:

http://vintagedev.tehskeen.com/

put everything(the sources) in the root folder, tried to compile, and nothing. A black screen, can anybody help?
Also, i tried different combinations, modifying the link file(without [objects])
Moving every other files from subfolders (e.g. binaries) to the root folder.

Still nothing, a black screen.

The pain in the ass is:
how should the file structure look like?
I mean something like:

Folder1:
+--Subfolder
l+--some files etc..
Folder2:
+--subfolder

etc.etc.

Turn back now!!!! I'm serious, don't use wla unless there is absolutely no other assembler for your processor target. In this case, there is ca65 which is decent though a bit steep to get started with, and a few others that are specific to the 65816 which might be easier to use.

For emphasis. xkas. Use it. It's so easy to use, no wonder it's number one. Unlike AOL, xkas is actually good.
