Hi folks.
I have been programming in C for quite a while now but I have never had to program C to run on an operating system, all the work that I have done has been programming embedded systems.
I was looking to try to write some programs that I could run directly off of my computer, perhaps from the command line or as an .exe.
The only problem is I have very little idea how to go about this and what differences their are between programming an embedded system and programming on windows, is there a document detailing #pragmas and other system specific requirements??
I have downloaded minGW as I read that it will compile for windows but have not had a chance to play with it yet.
Was also wondering if there was a command to generate a window and populate it with text or buttons for example.
I know this post has been quite vague but I am just kind of looking for a push in the right direction to get me started.
Any links or advice is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks.
Pete
