I haven't used the latest release, so forgive me if these issues have
been resolved.
First, having the headers dependent on patched to the MS distro can be
inconvenient due to the current huge download of the PlatformSDK. Also,
I don't think I'd want to bring the killer app of 2001 to market without
a cleanroom set of headers, but I am most definitely not a lawyer.
Second, the version of 'ld' supplied with RSXNTDJ failed silently if it
could not find required libraries. This was a hack to allow it to build
.dll's. I always used the standard djgpp 'ld' for .exe files, and only
pulled in the rsxntdj version for dll's. If this is still the case, it
needs work.
Third, was there ever a resolution on C++, or does it still throw the
stabs error?
The rest of the problems aren't severe, but if these three areas are
still unresolved, there is quite a bit of work to be done.
