Windows Services and mingw

Question

Is it possible to compile a Windows service using only the compiler and the mingw C ++ library?

I assume that you can use the compiler with the standard Visual Studio library and tools, but you want to do this almost completely openserved.

Any experience?

Answer 1

Since you can create programs using the Windows Platform SDK (or what it's called today) using MinGW, you can create Win32 services.

Services are simply Win32 programs with specific protocols used to register them in the system and interact with the service controller of the operating system.
