tell me more. do you just run /usr/bin/gcc or are there separate compilers you
must use? from what I remember, the makers of GCC seem to think gcc is designed
to be in one spot on the system.
I have no idea what kind of commandlines you would use for the different OS
output you want. I don't suppose there is actually help and easy documentation
on how to do that stuff rather than reading in gcc's manual all of gcc's
switches (which doesn't tell me anything)...
I am still trying to break into some areas of multi-platform coding like mac
and linux (I guess that never ends - just look at boost headers). I already
have DOS and Windows covered.
by the way, I am now offering my mingw,mingw-w64,borland c++, djgpp compiler
wrapper batch files at https://sourceforge.net/projects/compilerwrapper/

then there's the cocoa vs the other app style, and ppc vs intel and the
various builds of OSX. and I wonder what it takes just to build a commandline
app.
