Hello realthing,

rec> Hi there!

rec> I'm a GCC beginner and I have a few questions. 

rec> 1)I want like to write programs for Win95/98/NT etc with GCC. There is 
rec> Mingw32 and Cygwin32 but they both link the programs with some DLLs no 
rec> matter if I want it. I'd like to have control over everything what is in 
rec> my EXE(i.e. start at the entry point and end with ExitProcess()). I wanted 
rec> to modify Mingw32 libraries but I didn't find the sources. Are that 
rec> sources available? Is there any other way to do what I need?
Cygwin32  can  produce  EXE  files  that  doesn't  use cygwin DLL (use
-mno-cygwin  switch).  It links crtdll.dll instead in this case (which
is  a  sort  of  system  dll,  at  least  it is included in Windows NT
distribution).  If  it  doesn't  suit,  Cygwin32 sources are available
(look at Cygwin site and it's mirrors).

rec> 2)Is there any other GCC for Win32?
There  is  a  modification  of EMX package called RSX that can produce
Win32 binaries.

rec> 3)What is the latest version of GCC for Win32?
2.95.2 (it is the latest version of gcc itself).

rec> 4)Does GCC produce better code than VC++ or Delphi?
It  depends,  I  had  different  results  in different cases.

BTW Are there any formal benchmarks on the Net ?

rec> 5)Where can I find up-to-date information about GCC for Win32?
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ in case you use Cygnus

rec> 6)How can I create the .a archives?
ar rvs <name of archive> <list of object files>


Best regards,
 Roman                            mailto:roman@nstl.nnov.ru
