Ok, this is getting complex, the last post had so many replies I decicded to start a new one.  So far this what we have got:

0. I am using Windows XP my dm dir can be found in C:\dm.  I am using digitalmars compiler version 8.30c.

1.  The files nafxcw.lib, winspool.lib and shell32.lib cannot not be found on compile.

2. The code I am trying to compile is MFC (this app is a basic window) and the source can be found at the bottom of this post.

3. I was told I would need the MFC and ATL libs and was also told to download the files MFC4.21.tar and ATL2.02.tar.

4.  I extracted these files to my dm directory keep the file structure.  So I ended up with C:\dm\MFC and C:\dm\ATl.

5. In my C:\dm\lib folder I have the following files :

1. ADVAPI32

2. COMCTL32

3. COMDLG32

4. CTL3D32

5. gc

6. GDI32

7. KERNEL32

8. OLE32

9. OLEAUT32

10. snn

11. USER32

12. UUID

6.  When I run this command "C:\dm\bin>set" in my command prompt it returns this:

ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
APPDATA=C:\Documents and Settings\James\Application Data

USERDOMAIN=FAMILYPC
USERNAME=James
USERPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\James
windir=C:\WINDOWS

7. The second part of this section "LIB=c:\dm\lib;c:\dm\mfc\lib;" is wrong. I have no such folder under my c:\dm\mfc\ directory.   My MFC folder contains 2 folders only: include and src.  The only folder that is labeled lib under mfc is located C:\dm\mfc\src\SC\LIB\  This folder conatins no lib files only .prj, .opn and one .mak file.  The .mak file is named nafxcw.mak.

8. I have just been told that the files winspool.lib and shell32.lib are not included in the dm download and should be in the c:\dm\lib folder, which for me are not.  I was also told that this person ran implib????? on the winspool.drv and shell32.dll files in the windows\system folder and then placed the resulting lib files in C:\dm\lib.  What is implib how do I use it?  If possible can "bw" e-mail me the files to use with my compiler.

9. If I ever manage to get this to work I am going to host a nice noob
friendly (with lots of screen caps) guide on how to set this compiler up
;o).

Thank You All For Your Patience......

BASIC MFC WINDOW SOURCE:

#include <afxwin.h>

#ifdef MINIMAL

// Stub out non-critical CRT initialization functions
extern "C" void _setenvp() { }
extern "C" void _setargv() { }

// Define a window class derived from CWnd

        return TRUE;
    }
};

CHelloApp HelloApp;  // HelloApp's constructor initializes and runs the app

They do not seem to be on your system either.
nafxcw.lib you can compile yourself. Instructions are in ~/MFC/src in a .txt
file I think.
The other two are part of the DM CD.

That depends on what you want to do. You can accomplish the same thing with the API. You might have to do quite a bit more coding yourself for a full blown application without MFC.

That's OK.

SHELL32.LIB and WINSPOOL.LIB seem to be missing.

I think nafxcw.lib will be places in ~/MFC/lib when you build it.

Probably took the files out of a VC-- install and converted them to use with DMC++

Good luck!

this person?  lmao that sounds kinda impersonal, but hey i told ya it could be frustrating.. hang in there it's not mr bright's fault it's probably all these different computers and dll versions and os'es everywhere...  once you get it set up it's really pretty awesome.

u no a yeer agoe i kud nott eeven spael programmar now i are won.

L8r,
bw

Take my advice and buy the CD it is well worth the
price and it then is just a matter of draging and dropping the directory
from the CD to your PC and setting the
PATH.
It is really very cheap and a great product.
