    I think you will have a tough time trying to get djgpp working on non-dos machine because it 32-bit dos compiler. My suggestion is to download mingw from www.mingw.org or dev-c++(mingw with IDE) from www.bloodshed.net Or in the case that you are just doing c programming you can download <a "href="http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/">lcc</a> Another compiler you can try is <a href="http://www.openwatcom.org/">watcom</a> but it doesn't adhere to the c++ standard too good.

    Another suggestion is to go to http://www.cygwin.com and install Cygwin. That will give you all the standard GNU tools for Windows XP plus a lot more. I run it at work, works OK. Plus you can get KDE as a default X-Windows i/f, but it runs very slow even on a P4.

    Yeah, but can you compile c++ programs to work in windows with cygwin?

    Haven't tried it but in theory it should work. Cygwin gives you a .dll that converts from the *nix API to 'doze API. If not, re-write your favourite c++ compiler to work with Cygwin. That's what Opensource is all about, after all.
