You forgot to mention fixing the specs file where the library search directories
are.

fix the link section like this
*link:
%{Zwin32: -Lc:/rsxntdj/lib/all} %{Zmt: -Lc:/rsxntdj/lib/mt} %{!Zmt:
-Lc:/rsxntdj/lib/st}

Replace c:/rsxntdj with the appropriate directory.

If you want, you can use the patch for the specs file below (read on...)

First, you don't install those headers on top of the rsxntdj headers. The mssdk
headers go in the mssdk subdirectory in the rsxntdj include directory.

Second, I have made a new patch for the headers and have made it available to
the public at http://webhome.idirect.com/~eschunk/mssdk/rsxpatch.zip. The
readme.txt contains instructions. The original patch was for an older release of
the headers.

The mssdk headers are essential for more advanced projects that use things such
as opengl, directx, etc.

The mssdk headers are not 'hard to find'! Try http://www.microsoft.com/msdn/sdk/
or better yet http://msdn.microsoft.com/developer/sdk/bldenv.htm
If they change their site go to http://search.microsoft.com and look for
ibldev.exe
