Programming in C

Stiks · 09-09-2005, 02:57 AM

I have started programming in C at my University; however, I have only used Linux to do it. I have written 2 simple programs, but I dont know how to run them in Windows. I feel stupid for asking this but I need to know.

Get a compiler, bloodshed.net has a good free one called dev-C++, it runs C code.

You might want to check out MinGW at http://www.mingw.org/

Quote:

MinGW: A collection of freely available and freely distributable Windows specific header files and import libraries combined with GNU toolsets that allow one to produce native Windows programs that do not rely on any 3rd-party C runtime DLLs.

MSYS: A Minimal SYStem to provide POSIX/Bourne configure scripts the ability to execute and create a Makefile used by make.

Coming from Linux, you will find it just as easy to compile and run Windows programs when you use msys.

Best Regards,
Yeoh
