I'm using djgpp 2.03 and have had a look at the RSXNTDJ 1.5 set of programs which I downloaded at the same time. Having looked at the RSXNTDJ help files, however, there does not really seen to be enough information at a basic level to get started. I have experimented with some Qt programming under Linux, which I found very easy to pick up the basics. However Qt seems to only be commercially available under windows, and is therefore unsuitable. My questions are: What do most people use for developing GUI programs under Windows? Is RSXNTDJ any good? Where can I find a good online tutorial to learn GUI programming from the ground up to a good level? Are there any good books you can recommend? Is there anything similar to qt which I can use? Also what is the difference between the 32-bit extended dos applications output by djgpp's gcc compiler, and the Win32 applications output by RSXNTDJ's gccwin32 compiler (after-all, presumably, if you link a library such as Qt when using gcc, then gcc will also output GUI applications [this is only a guess, I'm not sure if it is correct or not])?
