I have some programming experience... way back :) x86 ASM, Basic, VBA, ASP, PHP, & very little C. I've decided to start to work on learning C & C++. Question 1: Is this the forum for GCC newbie questions? Question 2: Does GCC C/C++ compilers compile to "native code" for deployment on Windows machines? Question 3: Can you do full blown Windows GUI application development in GCC? (and then cross compile to other platforms... Apple & Linux?) I'm looking for a classic C & C++ compiler and an alternative to the MS compilers that seem to want to produce MSIL/Byte Code for a JIT. Thanks for any help. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Looking-for%3A-1%29-GCC-C-C%2B%2B-newbie-forum-2%29Classic-C-C%2B%2B-compiler-native-code.-Is-GCC-it--tp33439245p33439245.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
