-For example, you can compile up GCC so that it creates WIN32
executables when running on [Linux], so you don't even have to go near a Windows
computer during development. Coupled with a [

[GUI] like [wxWindows
], you can use the same source code
and Makefiles
to create native applications for multiple platforms all from the comfort of your Linux box!
