Would lindows be able to compile windows C++ applications?
I wouldn't think so, however since it has a special Wine version builtin (or so I am told, I won't go near Lindows), you may be able to put MSVC++ on it.
At least some versions of GCC (runs on linux, and lindows) can 'cross compile', the compiler runs on linux, but the program they make runs on windows. (Google for more info)
Lindows = crap. It's just Linux with Wine. It can't compile Windows apps any better than any other Linux distributions. (This is not saying other Linux distributions can't compile Windows apps well.)
oops i asked the wrong question, :D i mean can lindows compile linux apps?
sorry bout that
Again, Lindows is yet another Linux distribution.
It runs Linux programs natively.
gcc is a Linux program. :D
lindows compiles nothing. Period.
:D
:)
Btw, I highly recommend against Lindows.
GCC is actually a GNU program, written for the GNU OS. It's since been made portable for most Unix-like systems, including GNU/Linux which is where most people encounter it.Quote:

Ok, well, /usr/bin/gcc is a Linux program. ;)Quote:

We're all very picky here...
Nope, it's a GNU/Linux program. It uses the application binary support from Linux, alongside the userland libraries from GNU.Quote:

GNU/Linux is a hybrid OS that wasn't particularly meant to be, really.
