I'll look at those three (GDK, SDL, OpenGL). It's likely that I'll just go with wxDev_C++ if I like it, as it uses wxWidgets, but I do like the idea of using C rather than C++, if I can learn to make a program with GUI and standard controls using TCC and other small clean systems, that's how I want it. I don't have a lot of code to port to anything, but that's why I want to establish a course early, so I don't find myself in that position. (It's why I won't touch .net, as that looks like a bad choice to me). While I'll be coding for Win32 as I chose to stay with W98, I don't want to isolate myself too much. _______________________________________________ Tinycc-devel mailing list Tinycc-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/tinycc-devel
