I did read the HOWTO and implemented the changes. But in addition to
your HOWTO there is the RSXNTDJ.HLP file in the DOC subdirectory that
apparently explains about how to set up the environment as well. I
followed that to the letter first, then applied your fixes and
patches. One person even pointed out that my PATH env variable had
the /rsxntdj/bin coming after the /djgpp/bin directory, and I was
careful to note that order is reversed in fact (unlike for the ./lib
subdirectories).
In addition there is a subdirectory called PATCH that contains an
ld.exe and the .dif apparently between this ld.exe and the binutils
ld.exe. It is *that* ld that I have renamed 'ldrsx.exe' and put in
the /djgpp/bin directory, thinking I would use that when linking in the
RSX development environment, and using the binutils 'ld' when linking
the 32-bit DOS environment. But please read below.

gccw32 is merely a wrapper which apparently sets up the environment for
calling gcc, right?

I wasn't aware of that. I will update. But has cpp changed
significantly that it would really affect what is happening here??

Here's what I want to do:
I want to be able to set up the environment and configuration such that
I can do two things at will, and at any time:
1. Develop 32-bit MSDOS programs (through rhide) using the standard
DJGPP library with its port of GCC
2. Alternately develop Win32 consoles/DLLs/GUIs etc. using RSXNTDJ with
its library and particular port of gcc.
So how do I set up my Windows 95 system for environment and
configuration to do that??
It seems clear to me that the people using RSXNTDJ *only* use that on
their system, or that people using DJGPP for MSDOS *only* use that on
their system, and there is no one in this group who switches between
development systems.
If you are such a person that uses both, just please provide the basic
configuration and environment I need, and my troubles will be over.
Thank you.
