This isn't really anything to do with the compiler: it's more a platform
specific question. (Borland's graphics library is probably better
considered a bundled library than a compiler feature.)

Whatever you're developing for, it's probably worth looking at
http://www.libsdl.org/. Alternatively, if you meant Windows with a
capital 'W', you can download the DirectX developer's kit from
http://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/.

There isn't one attached to the GCC project. However, the same server
hosts Source Navigator (http://sources.redhat.com/sourcenav/) and
there's probably half a dozen IDEs on http://sourceforge.net/.

Hope that helps,
Rup.
