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). > If there are plans to make a new version of the DJGPP package then I > would suggest that the compiler should be modified so that it can compile > code that uses the WIN32 API & GUI and in the FAQ there should be an > entry that describes the basic steps needed to make Win programs. 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.)
