Hi Robert,
I just recently downloaded rsxntdj and was not able to get it running
"Hello world" either ... until ... I dove into the documentation that came
with it and was finally able to piece together all the information I needed
to finally make it work.
I too recently bought a book titled "Teacher Yourself Windows 95
Programming in 21 days", author Charles Calvert, Sams publishing. So I was
pretty keen on jumping right into it.
Basically I had to download the set of PLATFORMSDK set of zip files, which
I found doing a web search leading me to the ftp site,
http://193.136.16.232/msdownload/PLATFORMSDK
There I downloaded the following files:
/msdownload/PLATFORMSDK/ -
12/6/96 10:05 AM 977736 PLATFORMBIN.EXE
12/6/96 10:05 AM 1526592 PLATFORMINC.EXE
11/27/96 4:22 PM 1229128 PLATFORMSDK.EXE
6/4/97 1:39 PM <dir> SAMPLES
Then I ran these download files and installed them onto my computer.
Next I followed the steps that the rsxntdj doc's outlined to copy and move
the Include files into the proper directories so that rsxntdj could see
them and use them. I also set up the path's and Set Eniroment's as outline
in the doc's.
I then was able to write the following sample "my first window C program'
..."
--------------------------
// Program LaoTzu.cpp
#include <windows.h>
// Some pragmas to surpress unneeded warnings
#pragmas warning (disable: 4068)
#pragmas argused
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpszCmdParm, int nCmdShow)
{
MessageBox(0,
"He who is rules by men lives in sorrow.",
"He who rules men lives in confusion.",
MB_OK|MB_ICONINFORMATION);
return 0;
}
--------------------------
To compile it I used the following command line in the DOS Prompt window,
gcc -Zwin32 LaoTzu.cpp -o LaoTzu.exe
.... And, SURPRISE !!! it worked.
As you can see, I too had to do some fiddling around to finally to get it
to work.
Hopefully this will get you pointed in the right direction and get it
working.
regards, Martin
