Windows32API
It is a set of header files and import libraries that can be used by GNU tools for compiling and linking programs to be run under operating systems supporting the Windows32 Application Programming Interface. Header files are created by the library's executables based upon a set of native Windows32 headers; the creation process follows these general steps: * Install Windows32 API Library on an operating system with native Windows32 header files. * Compile the Windows32 API Library executables with the native Windows32 header files. * Execute the Windows32 API Library executables to generate the set of freely distributable header files. The header files allow source code using the Windows32 API Library to be compiled into object code, but import libraries are required to link with the object code and create executable programs. Import libraries do not contain the actual code for Windows32 functions, instead they contain function exports which cause the executable to load a DLL during runtime. A DLL (Dynamic Link Library) contains the executable code for the Windows32 API functions, and the DLL is really a part of the operating system and not this library. This package is no longer under active development.
