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,
