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:

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......

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.

 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.

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.

 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.

That's OK.

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

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++

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.

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

It is really very cheap and a great product.
