Platforms and supported compilers

The following is obsoleted and left for reference only. The latest version of GrWin is available here.

The GrWin Library with grwnd.exe is expected to work on any PC's where one of Windows Xp/2000/NT/Me/9x (x86) is running. In developing this project, a top priority is to make a free system, and currently main targets are MinGW-2.0 and Cygnus Cygwin 1.3.x. Other compiler systems listed in the table below are also available. Especially as f2c ( a Fortran 77 to C translator ) is supported for Intel(R) C++, Borland C/C++, Microsoft Visual C++ and Digital Mars C/C++ compilers, those users who do not have a Fortran compiler can do graphics programming by Fortran 77.

This project has been developed specifically for Win32 platforms ( Windows Xp/2000/NT/Me/9x ), and deeply depends on the Win32 API. So there is no plan to port this to other platforms.
