[Dev-C++] re: Linux support without a Linux port

[<li...@as...>]

Thanks for the reply 8-)
 
Concerning the remote debugging, a VMWare virtual machine is networked to its (say)
Windows 'host' just like a separate (networked) Linux box would be, so it imposes 
no special complications/requirements.
 
The Linux box (or VM) would have to be networked and run some sort of daemon, 
controlled over the network by Dev-C++ running on the Windows box. Since this 
type of remote debugging is standard in the GDB world and supported in GDB itself
(eg. using it on a PC to remote-debug an embedded system, which has a simple stub
to allow GDB to control it) I was assuming that this would be a very 
straightforward to do.
 
Sorry for posting both here and on the forum - I had no idea which one was best
to reach the developers.
 
Also want to say that Dev-C++ is a really cool piece of work - which I'd found 
it earlier!!
