First off i didn't know where to put this:
I am taking my first programming class at College and today was my first day of classes.
And in my comp sci class we are learning C
and will be using Visual Studio during class and lab time.
But i want to be able to do the coding and compiling on my computer and make it executable on a windows computer, can Developer's tools do this?
Or what can i do?
The programs must be windows compatible for grading.
This sucks, i don't want to spend long hours in the lab; i want to be able to do it on my powerbook.
Please help me.

That's just my opinion. What do I know, I'm just a college student.

If you have to produce Windows binaries, you have two choices -- CodeWarrior's cross compiler, or Virtual PC.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Do you mean the class actually requires you to turn in a binary file? All colleges I have ever heard of (including mine) want you to turn in source, not compiled programs (especially for beginning CS classes). And even if this is the requirement, why would you have to spend hours in labs? C works basically the same on most systems. Get it to work on you Powerbook, then take the source file to the machine you are compiling for and compile it there. If there are one or two details to change, it shouldn't be much.

I talked to my professor and he basically likes the fact that Visual Studio checks syntax and then we will be compiling some times, but other turning in source code.
coolmacdude - what program can i use to make C on my mac, and will it check syntax for me like Visual Studio?

Apple's free "Project Builder" will take care of all your C programming needs (including syntax checking - at compile time). The only thing it won't do, is compile a Windows executable.
You can download it with Apple'
s Developer Tools, or look for the installer already on your Mac, if it came with OS X.

Thanks,
I was wondering if Project builder could do it.

It can't, however, make Windows apps. If you can turn in source code it should do just fine.
