I ran into the exact same problem you did! Down to every specific (was
reading the same documentation, added the #include <windows.h>, etc.),
and I got the same error you did.

But the good news is I eventually got it to compile!

Basically, gcc is looking for libraries that are found in the Rsxntdj
folder. These libraries are in

Rsxntdj\lib\st
-AND-
Rsxntdj\lib\mt

I don't know what the difference between st and mt are (anyone know?),
but either way these libraries are not in my path. So, at this point, I
satisfied the compiler by copying all the libraries out to the
corresponding djgpp library folder, which was in my path...
That is, for me, I wrote:
copy d:\rsxntdj\lib\st\*.* d:\djgpp\lib

I would put everything in but the first library (libc.a) because libc.a
is already there, and djgpp's version is more recent (I'm using djgpp
v2.02).

There! Now your test.c should compile!

Um, here's the bad news...
It DID make a window, but its contents were:

Exception at 0x00000003
Application got signal SIGSEGV
     [OK Button here]

Whee! Seg fault! Um, tell me if it works different for you, ok?

Dherman

P.S. Yup, I tried both the libraries in /mt and /st... both of them gave
me the same results
