Hi,
I am developing program on window's using msys and mingw. I want to have similar function as provided by WINAPI CreateFile(). Is there any solution for this?
Regards, Dhaval
Can I open file with sharing mode similar to "FILE_SHARE_DELETE" defined for CreateFile()? which i guess is related to ACL implemented in NTFS file system.

Looking at the documentation it doesn't look like fopen has any delete-on-close functionality. You will need to use CreateFile directly to access that.

How to use it directly in mingw environment?

The mingw environment is meant to setup a windows sdk build environment: i.e. little more than a `#include <windows.h>` is necessary - then just call the windows APIs you want.
