I used with great profit in the past DJGPP to write programs which
worked finely both under Win95/NT and under Linux. Now I have to use the
algorithms which lie behind these programs within Java. I know that to
avoid to rewrite them from scratch in Java I can use Java Native
Interface. In Linux I had no problems, while I had them under Win95/NT
in building a DLL using DJGPP + RSXNTDJ. I was unable to build a simple
DLL containing a single function like this one:

int f( int x) { return ++x; }

I set up RSXNTDJ properly yet it seems something is missing. Maybe the
definition file but I have never used them and I don't know the syntax.

I hope somebody could help me because I enjoyed using DJGPP and I would
avoid to use other free compilers like Cygnus (I had problems in setting
it up) or lccwin32 (which is not a C++ compiler).

Thanks in advance.
