is there a WXMSW compiler port for DigitalMars C/C++ Available?

[Arjan Knepper]

If not, is what is the roadmap in porting wxWindows to a new compiler?
Which defines should i use and which are the most important include files?

Thanks,
Arjan Knepper

Walter Bright has done a lot of work on the compiler lately, so it is
almost completely up to the standard. (see http://www.digitalmars.com).
Also the commandline compiler is available for free.

So far I have been able to compile zlib, regex, png, jpeg. tiff has a
problem with tiffio.h line nr 83:
DECLARE_HANDLE(thandle_t); /* Win32 file handle */
According to MSDN this is a Windows 16 bits API macro. Why is is used in
a 32 bits environment?

Hi,

take a look in the C++-Forum of Digital Mars - somebody already achieved
to compile wxwindows with digital mars and put the diffs and some
explanation in the forum.
Wait, I look it up for you - there we go:
http://www.digitalmars.com/drn-bin/wwwnews?c%2B%2B/2029

I tried it once myself, and that guy ran into the same problem than
myself, and I'm not sure, that what he had done is correct. Anyway,
maybe this is of any help,
