I'm in the unenviable position of having to port some C code
from Linux to a Win98 environment. The code is a loadable
package that can be linked dynamically into a Tcl application
(the code acts as a communication link between Tcl and an Erlang
application).

In Linux, I created a shared object with position-indepedent code:

	gcc -shared mycode.c -L/my_lib_path -I/my_include_path
		-lmy_libs -o mycode.so -fpic

Can djgpp handle this (and if so, any hints/pointers from a kind
soul?) or am I consigned to install and suffer an approx. 1Gbyte
of MS Visual C++ and the MSDN? Please tell me the latter ain't so!

Help would be much appreciated. --Tony
