VS2005 to gcc

[nkomli]

Hi, I have a simple C++ source file which works perfectly in Visual
Studio 2005. Unfortunately I have to get it compiled for use on a
remote linux machine. Using putty I get a zillion cryptic error
messages that scroll off the putty screen making it impossible to see
the first error messages. Is there a way to compile Linux executables
on Windows or somehow get a more forgiving Linux compiler or a page
with all the nonos in gcc that are acceptable in VS?

Hint: Redirect the error messages to a file so that you can read through
them after the compiler is done.

Don't know. Also: this is off-topic here. You might get better answers in a
Linux or Windows group.

or somehow get a more forgiving Linux compiler or a page
with all the nonos in gcc that are acceptable in VS?

a) Since you get a zillion messages, I venture the conjecture that there are
libraries missing on the linux box that the program requires. In that case,
it's not just about making gcc happy.

b) Specific compiler issues are best addressed on forums dedicated to those
platforms.

The OP is a so called "windows" programmer,
so you have to tell him what redirection means
and how it is done since this concept is alien to "windows" programmers.
Most of them even don't know what a shell is... :-)
This is really no joke! That's what MS makes of these people,
ie. il stupido to the max.

You can redirect the output to a file.

whatevercommadntocompilehere MyOutput

then you can look at MyOutput at your leasure.

Well, DevCPP uses a more linuxesque compiler. You can donload DevCPP for
free.

In addition to what others have suggested, you may want to check out
cygwin. You can then use g++ on your Windows box, which may be a
little easier to work with than a remote Linux machine.
