b18 was fairly easy with the use of the eradme - cut and paste a couple
environment variables, update your path - remove that F-U king waste of
MSDEV - phweew <wipe brow> No WAY! I got like 265 free megs! now...
what about all those other projects- sure would be nice to port them...
now coming from borland command line compiler reduced to 1.4megs
makefiles are really second nature. now - there's MAN files and INFO
files which I found MAN2HTML.C compiles very well under CYG-WIN32 well -
I guess that UNIX to WIN32 works better. TEXI2HTML.PL okay - perl.exe
comes with NT - so the fact it is missing in the distribution is okay.
I'm not sure what all the other directories of stuff are really for...
though the h-i386/win32 no wait that's h-i386-win32 / \\\\ / /\ \./
(shrug).
Any NT programmers there? well you'll find the Windows32 defniitions of
WNDPROC inadequate - what is wParam? used to be a handle type /*I guess
- DOS was more betterer than Windows - but windoze was a pretty good
shell for multiple dos windows*/ - but it's a DWORD now... tsk tsk...
but
Recommend perl.exe, info.exe(djgpp has one...), www.semware.com,
