I just recently downloaded & installed the full distribution of cygwin32 (all 40 megs of it!) with the intent of learning something about windows programming. From what I have seen, this library is largly intened for porting unix/gnu software to a windows environment, but how suitable is it for straight windows programming? I bought the book Programming Windows 95 (by Charles Petzold) and the examples are designed to work with MS Visual C++. Are there any particular things I should watch out for in compiling the VC++ programs under gcc? (other than re-writing all the makefiles...) Also, it seems that the standard set of cygwin32 header files are missing the SND_* macros... thanx, ******************* The one and only ***************** ******************** Peter Amstutz ******************* ***** All around computer whiz kid and nice guy. ***** ************** amstpi@freenet.tlh.fl.us ************** ************** has spoken! *********** - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
