RE: [Dev-C++] A question of professionalism

[Igor P. <igo...@po...>]

Hi,

It is very important to make distinction between Dev C++
which is only a GUI, GCC which is the actual compiler and
MinGW and Cygwin which are essentialy sets of libraries,
headers and utilities that make GCC usable under Windows.
So when you are using Dev C++ for your programs then
you are using GCC compiler - this is important in your
case because GCC is a profesional grade compiler
and is an industry standard. All the Linux distributions
(including commercial distributions) and commercial
software for Linux (for example Oracle) is compiled with it.
All the companies that create commercial software for linux
rely on it. More about GCC you can find at http://gcc.gnu.org/
Other usefull links:

http://www.mingw.org/
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
http://www.linux.org/
Hope this helps and Good Luck !

Igor

Again,

The input regarding using various compilers and development tools is noted
and will be used in the future.  However, myself and other students in the
class are faced with a situation where we have to defend ourselves after the
fact (semester over).  There are a myriad of different reasons this guy has
given 90% of the class an F (the other 10% got a D), and I simply want to
document all possibilities before going in front of a review board.

Please, anyone with links or other resources regarding the GCC, MinGW and
Cygwin compilers used by DEV C++, please let me know.  I will be doing my
own websearches, but just thought maybe you all might know of some
resources.  Thanks so much for all your input.

S.
