They have a book called "Programming With GNU Software" which will probably be a big help. if the "everything" was NOT DJGPP then you ARE off-topic for this newsgroup, but since you mention game programming, the unofficial title of this newsgroup is comp.os.msdos.djgpp and allegro, since allegro is the darnedest game library (and, as they say, SO MUCH MORE) on the planet, and it's just for DJGPP! phil
