It's quite easy to turn off globbing for Mingw32. There are two ways,
both of which are trivial:

1. Add the following object file to your link list:
   
   <install_root>/i386-mingw32/lib/CRT_noglob.o

   Where install_root is where you installed Mingw32 (eg., c:\gcc-2.95).
   You can of course always just copy the file to your directory and
   then you can omit the long path.

   C:\> gcc -o foo foo.o <install_root>\i386-mingw32\lib\CRT_noglob.o 

2. Define a variable _CRT_glob and initialize it to 0 at file scope in
   any of your source modules.

   /* file/global scope. */
   int _CRT_glob = 0;

   /* rest of file. */


   eg., try the following example:

   /* glob-test.c */
   #include <stdio.h>

   #if GLOB_ON
   int _CRT_glob = 1;
   #else
   int _CRT_glob = 0;
   #endif

   int
   main (int argc, char *argv[])
   {
     int i;
     for (i = 1; i < argc; i++)
       {
       printf ("%d: %s\n", i, argv[i]);
     }
     return 0;
   }

   
  To turn globbing on:

  C:\> gcc -DGLOB_ON=1 -o glob-on.exe glob-test.c

  To turn it off:

  C:\> gcc -DGLOB_ON=0 -o glob-off.exe glob-test.c

  Test it:

  C:\> glob-on *
  C:\> glob-off *

Mumit
