Expectations for Windows Programmers

Developers coming from a Windows background will find a set of tools capable of writing console or GUI executables that rely on the Microsoft Win32 API. The linker and dlltool utility may be used to write Windows Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs). The resource compiler "windres" is also provided with the native Windows GNUPro tools. All tools may be used from the Microsoft command line prompt, with full support for normal Windows pathnames.
