The other free solutions for writing Win32 apps are listed in section 3.6 
of the DJGPP FAQ list (v2/faq211b.zip from the same place you get DJGPP).

RSXNTDJ *is* the recommended solution for using DJGPP to make Windows 
programs.

And the FAQ already has an entry that explains how to set up RSXNTDJ and 
also lists the other free software packages which have the same purpose.

If, after reading section 3.6 of the FAQ, you think that there's 
something it left out, I'd be glad to hear from you.  (But note that the 
FAQ cannot itself describe everything, so it points you to additional 
docs and resources.)
