It was a great help. Second, Colin, any comments on the reply below? In your humble opinion, what are the benefits of someone like me using mingwin32 vis-a-vis full-up b18/coolview/whatever? One thing I have heard from you already is the availability of thread-safe libraries. Any others? Thanks again. /s/ Pat Bradford Reply to: gbradfor AT redstone DOT army DOT mil AND/OR p_n_brad AT traveller DOT com ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Petzold Example Author: "Pedro A.

Have you tried to install the Minimalist GNUWIN32? It'll make thingseasier and Colin has a wonderfull introduction on installing and compiling on his page. Just follow the link from Cygnus and download the Minimalist files. Colin's page then points at two interesting places. One is in Germany and features a CYGWIN.DLL free GCC for Win32 (very handy, feels almost like DJGPP) and a place with and EGCS implementation for Win32 which seems to run (at least GCC and GDB) seamlessly. > ld -o hellowin.exe hellowin.obj --subsystem windows -luser32 / > -lgdi32 -L$(GCC_WIN_LIB) This is living dangerously. Again, follow Colin's instructions, use GCC todrive LD and things will be a lot easier for you. > A required .DLL file, j.DLL, was not found. ?????? Again, go for Colin's stuff. It'll be way easier.
