I dunno what to do if you wanna make it compile under windows.  Some people getting working with visual studio.

Personally, I compile the .EXE's with MinGW under linux, then copy them over to windows computers for testing.

I provide the source code for windows users to build on their own, but simplest&fastest way to build programs for linux&windows I just build the exe's under linux.

Hi LUG,

Does anybody know of a good command line drop in replacement for gcc on
windows? Basically, there is this project that I have been developing on
linux. But now, I have to get the code working on windows. I have been
very careful to use only common library calls.

Cywin is too bulky and minGW + MSYS seems to cause some weird linking
errors with the project that I am working on. But, in any case, I am not
looking to emulate the linux environment. Is there any good command line
compiler for C/C++ for windows?

Thanks,
Mehul
