RE: [pooma-dev] POOMA under Windows environment and MS VC++

[Renato F. Cantao]

Hi!

Anyone tried GCC on Windows? There's a project called DJGPP that is a port
of GCC to the DOS/Windows environmente. It comes with all GNU tools, like
make, bison, emacs, etc...

It's on version 3.1 and can be found at:

        http://www.delorie.com

For those working with Pooma on Windows it worth a look!

[]'s, Cantao!
