This is so wrong that I don't even know where to begin. DJGPP only runs on DOS (or similar like NTVDM or DOSEMU). It does not use PE/COFF at all, nor DLLs, nor Win32 APIs. Sure, you can have some kind of bound / family (or whatever) .EXE that can run on two OSes (RSXNT). Sure, with other compilers (like OpenWatcom), you can use external API emulation (e.g. HX). Sure, you can use GCC to cross-compile from one OS to another. And yes, both Cygwin and DJGPP use GCC + BinUtils, but everything else is different (especially the libc). I don't know who told you that DJGPP was ever interested in Windows. If you have proof of that, I'd like to see it, but I'm not holding my breath. :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
