New year greeting to u all!

Has anyone able to complied program using
DevC++ in MS windows, and use or test it into
other OS like linux ?

Thank you in advance.
Rudy

What do you mean?

Basically, you can't, unless you use WINE or some other emulator in Linux
to run the program. DevC++ works with MinGW, which generated machine code
for MS Windows. It won't run on Linux.

To make the program run on Linux, you would have to recompile it using
GCC on Linux, which may or may not be an easy task depending on whether
the source code in question uses the Windows API.

Hello Michael,
Thank you your reply.
What I was thinking about was
to compliing  a source  code after the  designing stage in w95 platform and
then complie the same source code in another miniLinux computer with Devc++
or Gnu complier.

Your answer have been helpful.

Kind regards

You seek what is known as a cross-compiler. The most popular compiler
for this purpose is gcc/g++ as it is already ported to almost every
major system.

Unfortunately I am not very familiar with this, If I am developing
for a particular system I get that system to do my developement on.

Maybe do a search on google will turn up some articles on cross
compiling.

To me the name GCC is synonymous with EVERY_WHERE. You can very easily 
say: "This code has to compile not only in this machine and that one, 
but EVERY WHERE!"; meaning that you want this code to be GCC compliant.
There is no doubt, GCC is portable to... all common / feasible  machines 
out there.
I have use most of the C/C++ compilers in the market, MS or Borland for 
their speed and the others for the heck of it, but I have come to 
accept  that clients don't care about waiting 2 or 3 nanoseconds, but 
get really P.O. when I tell them that the project would have to be 
extended for another 2 or 3 weeks due to code incompatibility.
No doubt, GCC *is* the way!
For future reference, I cannot say that it was my idea to use GCC, that 
credit goes to one of my kids.
