Native Windows executables
This question is bound to reveal how new I am to programming.
I'm looking at downloading the Borland C++ compiler since it promises to develop native Windows executables. I've been working with Cygwin up till now with no complaints but I like the idea of being able to create something that people can use without also having Cygwin. But I have a couple (basic) questions on what this means: Will the resulting executables run on any windows machine, or do the other users still need something like Borland installed? If my executables are console-based, will a console be "compiled into" the program, or will I have to put in extra code to make that happen? In other words do I have to know a lot about UIs (I don't) in order to make it work as a simple "double click and go"-type application. If the answer to either of these is no, is there a better compiler that WILL do this, or should I begin learning about user-interface coding? Thanks! |

Re: Native Windows executables
MinGW + MSYS. It will give you the same feel as Cygwin, but compile natively for Windows.
