Turbo C or GCC ?

frenchn00b · 12-28-2007, 04:46 AM

Programing in C, with the idea to use the programs in windows and linux. Turbo C is a way.

but is it worth programing with it, Turbo C ?
Hence Turbo C or GCC ?

Dude, find freedom with GCC! GCC is far better; it implements all the international standards. Turbo C does not implement all of them.

thanks

Turn on the sound, why this guy http://www.gdargaud.net/Humor/C_Prog_Debug.html says:
"dont use langage like that, use C++"
I am programing in windows, and 'd like to use it too in linux.

Didn't know that turbo c had a linux version. Interesting. Please point me to the source.

Why are you interested by turbo C, particularly ; just to learn...

Is there any nice link where we can download C programs that work with both gcc and turbo C ? I'd like to use the wget.h lib but not present.

damn, I get this error with turbo C:

"This is a Windows NT character-mode executable".

Maybe it's concerned with a newline style which is different for Unix and Windows.

Nothing wrong with Turbo C, but I'd pick gcc since it's bundled with everything *nix nowadays. Makes it less of a hassle, less stuff to learn.
