[GRLUG] C and C++ programing environment

[Rick Vargo]

I do not believe there are any cross platform C/C++ development programs
left on the market or available open source.  Even something developed with
Eclipse C++ is only valid for that specific platform unless it is a simple
console app.  You can however use interpretive languages (Java, Python,
Perl) and even BASIC (RealBasic or Kbasic) cross platform.  The closest you
could come to developing a cross platform C++ application would be to use
your favorite C++ IDE on each platform with cross platform GUI libraries (wx
widgets, gtk, qt) utilizing the .NET framework (MONO framework on Mac and
Linux).  Even doing this a certain amount of code is going to vary on each
OS.
