dev C++ users...

Ok, I must admidt that I am a lazy bum, I haven't downloaded and installed dev C++ to check it out, but I am just thinking that since it is a free IDE, that i wouldn't come with windows OS headers. I just think that's the sort of thing that comes with MS Visual Studio. Does anyone know?

So I also am curious, if I develop a windows program, and sell it, does MS get some kind of royalty even if i don't use their compiler/IDE because the headers could be liscenced?

DevC++ uses MinGW GCC, which does have some basic Win32 headers. No MFC or anything though.

You get access to the header files for the Win32API.

No MFC interface.

I believe there are 'plugins' or whatever they're called for some widget sets like GTK+.

And you can find some Win32 C++ classes around to ease the loss of MFC!

If you can consider lack of MFC a 'loss'...
