You won't be writing any win9x programs with DJGPP, it is a DOS
compiler,
and doesn't do windows.

Which are GUI libraries, which is not what you are looking for.

You need to get a win9x compiler. There are four available for free
that I am aware of:
MingW32, LCC-WIN32, Cygwin, RSXNTDJ

Ming, Cygwin, and RSXNTDJ all use ports of the GNU gcc compiler (as does
DJGPP) while LCC uses a win32 native port of the LCC compiler. They all
differ in size, capabilities, etc. (cygwin is posix compliant, lcc does
only C, etc.) Personally, I use LCC most of the time, it was the least
troublesome on our NT server, but your mileage may vary. (Just got
VisualStudio 6, so my LCC days are likely numbered now as well.)

You can get URL's for all of these compilers by doing a quick search on
this group at www.deja.com or a similar news archive.
