[Dev-C++] Compile Linux Code On Windows?

[Shane P. <ge...@my...>]

I am interested in learning how to use C++ with linux. The only problem is that I am not ready to switch my OS from Windows to Linux quite yet. Is there some way I can compile Linux programs on Windows?

Hi,

 Try this: http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/


Cygwin/XFree86 is a port of XFree86 to the Microsoft Windows family of
operating systems. Cygwin/XFree86 runs on all recent consumer and
business versions of Windows; as of 2002-05-12 those versions are
specifically Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows NT 4.0, Windows
2000, and Windows XP.

Regards,
Goran

Hello Shane,

besides Cygwin, which you already have been told about, also consider
the Msys package from the MinGW team (I'm not sure, but should be: 
www.mingw.org), this will give you the flavor of a Linux console on
Windows (I assume your journey through Linux will start from the console :-)

Have fun
