Probably not, you have to compile straight to a flat executable. Just extracting the code would probably kill stuff. What is it you want to do with mingw that you can't do with djgpp??

its not what i cant do its what i cant use(a real ide instead of a dos shell or batch file) and really djgpp really really annoys me with all its memory errors and crap

plus no long file name support, only 8.3 which gets annoying

If at first you don't succeed call it version 1.0

I thought DJGPP and MingW where command-line compatible (just redirect your IDE to it like if it were mingw).

hmmmm good point thanks for that tip i will try that, and maybe try to get it to use a linker script so it would link as flat binary

edit:
appearntly there are some differences because just changing paths and names didnt work i had to go to advanced options(which i just noticed was even there) which let you choose how the command line was sorted

edit2:
hmmm now i just need to figure out how to get mingw to compile non-pe as mingw's included ld works to compile flat binary so if i add an extra option then it will do that but the compiler compiles to pe

edit3:
after about an hour i got it working
and compiling to flat binary along with windows saying its no a valid application(which means its binary) now i just got to fix a way to use partcopy the way i want

partcopy? What's that? And if you put a .com extension on a flat binary executable it should run (and probably soft-crash).
