First last clarify what we are speaking about and why.
Visual C++ Learning Edition AE $35.59
http://www.provantage.com/FP_13023.htm
Borland C++ AE $40
http://www.provantage.com/FP_12370.htm
SYMANTEC C++ WINDOWS 95, WINDOWS NT CD $61.89
http://www.provantage.com/FP_11633.htm
Product "Studio 97 Professional AE"
http://www.provantage.com/FP_13003.htm - V Studio Pro $191
And I was explaining that GNU compiler is not tool to create and
support Windows software. Anyway one needs SDK unless the only
thing one needs is just a port of the existen UNIX software. I am not
making a port I am writting a true Windows software and hope this
branch will dominate soon (my ROOT collegue likely will disagree)
gcc and g++ are the "pure" compilers but MS (and all other PC
vendors) supply framework to build application. This framework does
contain a compiler too. Probably one can find option and buy the
"pure" Micosoft C/C++ compiler cheaper than that 35.59 USD but then
he will need to keep some UNIX staff with man pages around at least.
And I even am not sure that $35 is a great money nowadays even for
China.
Anyway the only thing I can not appreciate is to make job that
nobody will need. So far I didn't see any event to prove someone
does need this. I mean I saw no offer telling we will fund this
somehow or we will do this job ourselves.
It sounds like you are going to make this libraries. Ok, nobody
against. Just create it and tell us whether you still think it
is worth.
Probably you can look at pur Mac version that has no graphics at
all so it is close to your needs.
Soory I've to run out for some meeting
With my best regards,
Valery
