Usually, yes, but there are some differences in details that might surprise you if you do the build for the system that is not your main development platform just as a last step when your project is about to finish. In other words, it's best to continuously keep building on both Linux and Windows (or at least once a week on the "other" one) to quickly notice when some unintended difference in behaviour has popped up. > When I used Microsoft VC++ to > make GUI programs I found that people that didn't have the IDE installed > could not use the applications I would make. That sounds very odd, surely this is not how it is supposed to be. You must have done something wrong. But that is off-topic for this list anyway;) > Will my applications work > without the dev-tools installed on the target computer? Sure. Just the run-time bits are needed. (And of those, you can typically drop the message catalogs in various languages if your application itself isn't localised anyway.) --tml _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
