Hi,

I don't know whether this is the right NG for my question, but I've seen
some messages on this subject recently.

I'v downloaded the MINGW32 package (Minimalist GCC for Win32) from
uni-essen.de:

gcc-2_8_1.zip
gas-980119.zip
windows32api-980118.zip
mingw32-980105.zip

plus some others that should'nt be strictly necessary. I've followed the
installation instructions, setting environment vars:

path=C:\MINGW32\BIN;%path%
set C_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\MINGW32\include
set CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=C:\MINGW32\include\g++;C:\MINGW32\include
set LIBRARY_PATH=C:\MINGW32\lib
set GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=C:\MINGW32\lib\gcc-lib\

gcc -v says 2.8.1, and the classic Hello, world! program compiles and
runs OK, but I'm not able to go much further. The package contains some
samples. I was able to run only the 2 or 3 that do not use Win specific
stuff. More prcisely, some samples have a "jamfile". I had to figure out
by myself that it was a sort of makefile, as well as finding a jam.exe
somewhere on the net (it's NOT in the MINGW binaries!). Now, running
"jam" in the samples/test subdir I get complaints like

warning: unknown rule GuiLibs

and

test.o(.text+0x65):test.c: undefined reference to `MessageBoxA AT 16'

and no .exe. Similarly, in the samples/seh example jam fails to build
the DLL.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some online reference I could
consult?

Thank you anyway.
