Hello -
I am attempting to compile a native windows program using Imakefiles and SFU 3.5 I see that there is support for Microsoft Visual C++ Version 4, but I am having trouble getting this to work with the latest C compiler from Microsoft  . Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Phil

Did you install MSVC before of after the SFU install?
Did you install both the Interix and GNU SDK's?
By "having trouble" could you be a lot more specific please?
(i.e. error messages, actions/responses).

I installed MSVC after SFU. Some of the problems I initially had were due to the fact that I did not have the environment set up from the vcvars32.bat. After I got that figured out, Microsoft has named all of the .h files with mixed case - i.e. Windows.h so when I do a make depends (The real reason for using Imake), it can not find "windows.h" due to the lower case convention. If I include "Windows.h", then it finds the Windows.h file, but can not find the included file imm.h (included from windows.h) due to the fact that it is now Imm.h.

I'm not sure what your question is. Or how it relates to Interix and/or SFU.
The Interix SDK provides some compiler tools (e.g /bin/cc) which are wrappers that invoke the MSVC compiler executables BUT these tools create Interix binaries - not native Windows binaries.
And you certainly cannot use gcc that ships with SFU.
You can use the Interix imake (or make) utils but you'll have to configure them to invoke the MSVC executables directly and you'll have to make sure that you use the proper syntax for these MSVC/Windows executables.
The vcvars.bat file is useful if you are using the cmd.exe shell. It doesn't really help you if you are using an Interix shell. (/bin/ksh, /bin/csh).
Bottom line: if you're building Windows native apps you cannot use /bin/cc or gcc.
However there is a "wcc" script that is like cc but knows how to build Windows native apps. This script is on the interopsystems ftp site.

Sorry, I didn't read the first post closely enough.
You are attempting to build a Win32 program from the Interix/Unix environment.
The Interix environment is a Unix environment. The [c]cc/c89 scripts
drive MSVC to build Interix binaries, not Win32 binaries. There is not a mixing of
header files between the two, different environments.
You can drive the creation of a Win32 program using the Interix/Unix tools such
as make. Instead of using cc there is another script named wcc
(yeah, the 'w' is for Win32). You can grab a copy of wcc from the ftp site:
"ftp://ftp.interopsystems.com/beta/interix35/bin/wcc".
This is what you're looking to do, right?

Thanks - that is one of the things I am looking for. I do not think that would solve my make depends problems with the mixed case included files names though.

Using case sensitive tools (Interix) in a case insensitive environment (Windows) is no fun.
You are better off looking for another UNIX on Windows tools package that is designed to work in the Win32 world. (ie MKS Toolkit, Cygwin, Msys, UWin, ...)

Actually if you are using SFU on XP then you will have noticed at
installation that it asked about setting the case-sensitive registry
entry. If you're on XP setting it for case-insensitive might be
enough for you to get things going. Just an idea.

Thank You!! It took 3 things to get it working, the wcc script (Thank you Mark), the case setting for SFU under XP (Thank you Rodney), and the creation of a .cshrc that provided the same environment variables and path information as the vcvars32.bat file did for the command prompt compiling.
Thanks again!!
