Hi, Vicenzo!
In the Cygnus page
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/
there's reference to a help page (FAQ) you should consult.
Programming MS Windows is a little difficult :-), but you will find
some help in the page "Introduction to the Win32 Application
Programming Interface", at
http://www.microsoft.com/WIN32DEV/APIEXT/INTRO32.HTM
Microsoft created this mess, so it should explain it. :-)
A complete "Hello Windows" program is at
http://www.relisoft.com/win32/winnie.html
that contains indications to an almost complete practical Windows
programming course. A must read.
If we talk about books, Programming Windows 95, by Petzold & Yao, is
still the best, as far as i know.
Not related to Cygnus Gnu-Win32 -- a. k. a. cygwin --, is the
excellent DJGPP FAQ, by Eli Zaretski et al. Maybe you know that
DJGPP is -- like cygwin -- another implementation of GCC for the MS
world. Actually DJGPP is for MS-DOS, but the FAQ has almost
everything you should know to compile a program under GCC -- or a
version of it. Please find it somewhere in
http://www.delorie.com
Follow the (easy to follow) links in this site and you'll get there.
:-)
Best regards,
++Hilton
