I've finally got Baby X (not the resource compiler, the Windows toolkit) to link X11 on my Mac. And I can start work on it again. But it was far from easyt to get it to link.

  In src\windows, I tried compiling both main.c and testbed.c (not using any makefiles, just directly applying a compiler).
 They both call a startbabyx() function which is incompatible with the one defined in BabyX.h.
 It seems they pass an extra Hinstance first parameter. If I switch from WinMain() to main(), then testbed.c compiles - by itself. (Note that Windows GUI apps don't need WinMain; they work just as well with main.)
 I tried another module BBX_Canvas.h. gcc complained about a type mismatch (but it is 14.1 which is stricter).
 tcc said it couldn't find windowsx.h.
 My mcc had problems with UINT32 which doesn't seem to be defined anywhere that I could see.

It's these little things which make all the difference. I doubt it needs much to fix. But I'll need to be on Windows to do it. There were a couple of tiny glitches getting it to compile on Mac, but the mainproblemw as linking X11. I got very frustrated with it, and I'm supposedly a professional programmer. I'm afraid the average Mac user wouldn't have a clue.
