Thanks very much for the replies. Basically you're saying, use the GCC
that's already on my computer and call it from the app as an external
service to it. This is what someone has told me elsewhere too.
I'm sure this is possible and makes complete sense, but my ideal goal
is to allow people to easily install this application that I'm making,
and I wish that to be one simple install. A self contained thing. On
the Apple Mac in OS X, GCC comes with the developer tools. Most people
will not have this installed.
So I'm still wondering about the possibility of somehow including the
necessary parts of GCC within my application? How difficult would it
be? Does anyone know of a previous project or application that has GCC
embedded? It's got to be possible, right?
