Daniel, There's a gcc port to windows, but you might not need to use it. You want to investigate what's known as cross-compiling --- compiling for one architecture while using a compiler (and code) written on another architecture. You might run into problems if certain function calls (like some from systime.h for example) are implemented differently on the architecture for which you're cross-compiling (in your case, win32). I assume a google search should give more info. Or else the book _Programming with Gnu Software_ by O'reilly. Hope this helps, Daniel -- Daniel A.
