From: "A.Appleyard" Organization: Materials Science Centre To: DJGPP AT DELORIE DOT COM Date: Wed, 29 May 1996 15:13:03 GMT Subject: FAQ error Message-ID: <16B3E982C0E@fs2.mt.umist.ac.uk> ver2 \FAQ\DJGPPFAQ.TXT says:- > 3.5 MS-Windows applications and DJGPP > **Q*: Can I write MS-Windows applications with DJGPP?* *A* : Currently, > you can only run DJGPP programs under Windows as DOS apps (i.e. inside DOS > Box). If you need to write true Windows apps, try using the RSX extender > with EMX port of GCC ... Where to get this `EMX port of GCC'? > and RSXWDK kit for Windows. You can get RSX by anonymous ftp, e.g. > ftp://ftp.uni-bielefeld.de/pub/systems/msdos/misc/ ... Not now. It has anonymous FTP, but its directory tree is now completely different and I can't find RSX on it. > ... you must download and unzip the RSXWDK2 source archive, not only the > binaries (otherwise you'll get General Protection Faults when you try to run > DJGPP programs). ... Does this mean that you can use RSX to win Windows applications on programs compiled with djgpp? Or what compiler must I use with RSX? > [Or] try looking for RSXWDK on Cica mirrors, e.g. > ftp://ftp.cica.indiana.edu/pub/pc/win3/programr/rsxwdk2s.zip. It is not there now. It has been moved to ftp.winsite.com > You will also need a resource compiler, e.g. > ftp://ftp.aiai.ed.ac.uk/pub/packages/tex2rtf/rtfutils/hcp505.zip. Where is information how to use a `resource compiler' as part of compiling the Windows application? > Another way to develop Windows applications is to use the Cygnus GCC/GPP > port, at this URL: http://www.cygnus.com This led me only to a tangle of WWW information pages and I found nothing about getting the program source or binary. > A better (but harder) way would be to volunteer to add Windows support to > DJGPP. I have tried to explore that but by myself I have got nowhere. Is anyone else trying it? Perhaps if I got in touch with him I could help him.
