Ok, but there might be kind of confusion on your side. HX and Win32Inc are not linked. That is, to assemble a HX part (for example PESTUB), you don't need Win32Inc. Furthermore, HXDEV does contain a MACROS.INC file.

Yes.

No. I usually use a NMAKE.EXE, which is just stored in a tools directory and doesn't need anything (besides KERNEL32/DKRNL32). For OW's WMAKE, I'm not sure however.

Might be a good idea to reveal 1 of the million errors so one can guess at least based on 1 tiny fact. Because, I don't get any errors and I bet there is no magic involved.

The one from the JWasm page is from the OW snapshot of March. There was a bug fixed concerning COFF libs. The old v1.7 linker won't accept COFF libs created by non-OW tools.
