Jmlchief,

No these compilers are meant for unix only, specificly those OS's that are 
using ELF binaries.  Windows uses PE(32-bt)/NE(16-bit) binaries. But 
Cygnus.com is making a GCC compiler for Win32 and has even listed some 
applications that have been ported from UNIX. If you want to develope for 
Windows, my suggestion is go to www.borland.com and look at delphi or 
www.microsoft.com and look for Visual Basic.

Cheers,
Sam
