Hi
If you want to compile on a machine an run the compiled program on the same
machine (or one with the same OS / system libraries), then you need a
native compiler.
If the machine you'll be compiling on differs from the machine you're
compiling for (eg., you compile under Linux and want the program to run
under Windows, or under Solaris, or whatever) you need a cross compiler.
