hi
i'm not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but i was wondering how you go about compiling programs from source for windows XP. i've heard vaguely about a program called Cygwin, but am not sure if i should download it or not. i'd download it if it would help but i'm only a novice programmer at this point and i figured you'd have to be at least a little better than that to make it work. If anyone could at least point me in the right direction that would be great
thanks =]
