Hi, I am new to RSXNTDJ and I have big problem compiling simple Win32 API
application. I have latest version of RSXNTDJ and djgpp. I have simple
application that just calls MessageBoc and dies. When I run gcc, the
application gets compiled and linked, but the final step NtBind creates
console (instead of Windows) application. Can you tell me how NtBind
recognizes type of application? There are no switch to control this
behaviour. Or can you tell me where can I find source of NtBind?

More questions: I tried to compile latest MS SDK headers. Of course there
are big problems:
* anonymous structures
* completely different syntax of asm keyword (e.g. asm {...})
* language extensions such as __declspec(dllimport) differ

The RSXNTDJ mentions to run DoPatch.bat to patch the headers, but I cannot
find this tool. How do you handle this problem? Or do you use the several
years old port of MS SDK headers?

Is there a switch to tell GCC to stop compilation after 'n' errors?

Regards, Jan

PS: Please do not mention Mingw32 - I will evaluate it too, but I would like
to know if I can use djgpp+RSXNTDJ.
