Hi.

I've had success with building a cross compiler on linux from the djgpp
misc section in the faq (www.delorie.com). Still, I needed to get a gcc
specs from from a redhat distribution -- if you can, just grab the whole
linux djgpp cross compiler in rpm format, its out there somewhere.

I've had great success with building .exe's from linux, BUT not networking
stuff. I gave up doing networking with djgpp because of the wsock.vxd /
libsocket code that could not work with winsock2; hence the programs will
not work on Win98.

My solution? I'm now using (or will be using) gnu-win32 from cygnus.com.
Its also a free compiler, built on gcc, but geared more towards windows. I
believe a cross compiler from linux can also be built and I'm going to
give that a try.

About accessing a vxd, all I can suggest is taking a look at the wsock
code because I dont have much experience with it. There is a link to wsock
and I believe libsocket as well at http://master.internexus.net/Sites/, or
check the djgpp mailing list archives.. or a netsearch.

hope this helps!
