Re: [linrad] OFFTOPIC: C compilers and libraries?

[Chris Albertson <chrisalbertson90278@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Well, if you are forced to work in an MS Windows enviroment you
can get "cygwin" for free.  Read about it here
http://www.redhat.com/software/cygwin/

Then go here and get it
http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/
and get it by clicking the "install now" icon

What you really should be doing is asking about how to get a copy
Linux or BSD UNIX on your PC.  But cygwin will get you most of
what is included with Linux/UNIX.  After installing the basic
system you can them go back and get compiles (C and others) plus
X11 server and 100's of other packages.
