NO MORE MSDEV!!! 265 Meg DRIVE FREE! 12 Feb 1998 02:16:38 -0800 Message-ID: <34E393EC.E2CFBA27.cygnus.gnu-win32@mindspring.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com" b18 was fairly easy with the use of the eradme - cut and paste a couple environment variables, update your path - remove that F-U king waste of MSDEV - phweew No WAY! I got like 265 free megs! now... what about all those other projects- sure would be nice to port them... now coming from borland command line compiler reduced to 1.4megs makefiles are really second nature. now - there's MAN files and INFO files which I found MAN2HTML.C compiles very well under CYG-WIN32 well - I guess that UNIX to WIN32 works better. TEXI2HTML.PL okay - perl.exe comes with NT - so the fact it is missing in the distribution is okay. I'm not sure what all the other directories of stuff are really for... though the h-i386/win32 no wait that's h-i386-win32 / \\\\ / /\ \./ (shrug). Any NT programmers there? well you'll find the Windows32 defniitions of WNDPROC inadequate - what is wParam? used to be a handle type /*I guess - DOS was more betterer than Windows - but windoze was a pretty good shell for multiple dos windows*/ - but it's a DWORD now... tsk tsk... but Recommend perl.exe, info.exe(djgpp has one...), www.semware.com, - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
