Compiling Under Wine

now3djp writes "Interesting article over on CodingStyle that demonstrates how I successfully eliminated wasted time maintaining an MS-Windows computer when I could build natively from my GNU computer! /. has followed other cross compilers in the past. This article is different because I used MS's own compiler! This allowed me to get on with real games porting; with only a proportional increase in compile time. Wine has really come a long way in supporting simple apps, let us hope it reaches a 1.0 soon."

Use the Intel Compiler...

[Duncan3]

The MSVC compiler generates code as bad as gcc does. Both suck.

Use the Intel compilers, your code will be 50-300% faster.

And yes, Intel has both Win32, Win64, and Linux compilers, which is why I can state the above becasue I've used them.

GCC or MSVC are fine for development, due to fast compiling, but dont even think of releasing enduser versions with them.
