Linux Visual C++ Compiler/Java Compiler
 

Is there either of those included on Slackware 9.1? Will I have to use Wine to preview my .exe C++ files?

There is no Linux Visual C++ or Visual J++
compiler ... whether they run in wine or not
I don't know, and I don't understand what
you mean by


Cheers,

Why would you be using Linux to make Windows executable files?

Linux cannot run windows .exe or MSDOS .com files directly, even if you do compile a windows exe on your linux box, youll have to use wine to execute it.

It is possible to compile any kind of executable, as long as you have a cross compiler. Below is a url that can get your feet wet.
