Can i compile this on vb.net or vb 6 ??
can i compile this on WINDOWS??


Please guys

Thanks a lot

Can i compile this on vb.net or vb6

No. Only programs written in VB.NET can be compiled with VB.NET and only programs written in VB6 can be compiled in VB6. This is neither.

This was written in C so in order to compile it you would need to use a C Compiler.

But if i get a compiler will i b able to compile it on windows?

[CornedBee]

No. This is part of the Linux kernel and most definitely cannot be compiled under Windows. (Or at least for Windows. You might be able to find a cross-compiler, but that doesn't help you any.)

What do you need it for?

[roubesh14]

A friend is asking me for help for his assisnment n i dont have any idea about linux programming.....ive downloaded realbasic do u think it will work?

[CornedBee]

No. Basic and C are totally different languages.
