Hello to everyone !
Few days back I decided to start learning Windows programming.
I found that I needed package called RSXNTDJ (really awfull name... :=)) before I could start to make any code.
However, for me the stuff in this package raised more questions than answered.
So, if I don't want to use the RSXNTDJ then what are the minimum steps required for writing code that calls the WIN32 API and GUI?
Do I have to modify (aarghh!) the GCC source code so that the compiler could understand the
DLLs or is there a way to change the GDI32.DLL, KERNEL32.DLL, etc.. to the library format that the GCC understands ?
Are these the steps needed for making working program that uses the WIN32 API and GUI ?
My code (.c or .cc) + header files(.h) + libraries (.dll or .a ?) + definitions(.def ?)??? + resources(.rc ?)??? = compelete program (.exe)
Also what are the .DEF and .RC files ?
The libraries that the DJGPP uses are static, right ?
Meaning that when you start multiple copies of the same program in windows
you also make multiple copies of the same library functions and they stay in memory, right ?
If there are plans to make a new version of the DJGPP package then I would suggest that the compiler should be modified so that it can compile code that uses the WIN32 API & GUI and in the FAQ there should be an entry that describes the basic steps needed to make Win programs.
