[Dev-C++] Q: Porting those annoying M$ typedefs

[Yin M. <yi...@md...>]

Hi all.

I was working on gcc environment. For making some plugins and tools in
my office (WIN2K os), I tried to use Dev-C++ to write them. But, too
many things beat me.

First is the string, the essential stuff but rather confusable. MS
define too many typedef, such as TCHAR or LPCSTR, etc. I don't know
which types and functions I can use in GCC, wchar_t or char? wstrxxx or
strxxx?

I need a manual about porting MS to gcc, any url or hints?

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

TCHAR is either wchar_t or char depending on if you compile for unicode
support or not.

Same with the defined string functions. They translate to a wstrxxx or
strxxx function.

You should have a tchar.h file in your mingw include directory.
