Hello Mangal

Either compile gcc so that it will run on RHEL AS4.0 and compiles for 
windows or compile gcc so that it will run on Windows and compiles for 
Windows.
The first approach will be easier (in my opinion).

Check this tutorial for a starting point:
http://rmathew.com/articles/gcj/bldgcj.html

If you wish, I can upload the missing binaries from my gcc 4.2.0 build I 
use in javaCompiler (http://javaCompiler.sf.net). You'd have a fully gcc 
4.2.0 running on windows compiling for windows.

regards
Marco

Thanks all.
I can see the first approach looks easier. Just to
reconfirm that I can compile my application on RHEL
AS4 to generate objects for windows?

Now for the second approach what you have suggested do
i need to use any Application development environment
on windows to invoke GCC there.

TAI,
Mangal

Yes. Executables too...

No. The usual windows command prompt (cmd or command) does the job...

I would say forget it, if you aren't willing to use search tools like 
the one at gcc.gnu.org, or in your browser, or if you have ruled out 
cygwin.  Prior responders seem to be confused about whether you have 
decided to use 32-bit or 64-bit gcc, the latter not being supported on 
Windows.

This Linux distro maybe doesn't have any prebuilt
RPMS for this purpose but the Debian has... And
in the area of binutils and GCC the binary compatability
isn't that bad between distros, so installing (by unpacking)
the Debian '.deb' packages into the RedHats should
give fully working tools. Just as installing a generic
Mozilla application for Linux...

 I tried some Debian-made Linux-X-MinGW toolchain
some months ago and the only problem was that the
toolchain wasn't relocatable, some bug in the new GCC
(3.4.x or 4.0.x) forcing to use the original '--prefix=/usr'
setting in the set for the installation.  The host here was
SuSE 9.2...

 But building the crosstoolchain oneself is of course the
assumption. While learning to do that the pre-made
toolchain can serve as a good/bad example (the Debian
one as "bad" when using the base system's '/usr' for its
installation - using '/opt/gcc' or something 'local' would
be suggested. But opinions about this may differ).

 Not, but if you want a Unix-like development platform
on Windoze, then you will need to install one...  I myself
have used Linux as that "Unix-like development platform"
for the Windoze apps, mainly crosstools for embedded
targets hosted on Windoze...

The current situation in the Windoze/MinGW targeted
Debian Linux/x86 toolchains can be seen in the dirs :

   /debian/pool/main/m/mingw32*

at the Debian archive mirrors...  In the Finnish 'ftp.jyu.fi'
there was only gcc-3.4.5, no gcc-4.x versions yet...
