Post SLN to MinGW
OK, I saw this C++ tutorial on the Internet. The guy uses MSVC2005, but doesn't use any Microsoft functions, it's like a fully bank, cross compatible project, doesn't use standard headers or anything. I was wondering, can I compile this with MinGW instead of MSVC?

If it's cross-compatible then it should be able to - if you are compiling with MinGW though, it would compile it as if it is a Unix binary (you won't get a native Win32 app). Probably best idea is to try to compile it and see what problems come up - likely it would be missing headers.

Get MinGW32, that will compile a native Win32 binary. There is probably a Win-x64 version too.

Dev-C++ uses MinGW32, it can even import Microsoft Visual C++ projects. Does a load of other neat stuff too like a library manager to download plenty of extra libraries :)
