SUA/Interix comes with the ability to use MSVC and gcc/g++. The gcc compiler comes with the SUA/Interix installation when you select from the Custom install option. Note that BOTH the Interix SDK and the GNU SDK must be installed. The MSVC compiler is a separate download that is now free. It is recommended that you have MSVC installed before installing SUA/Interix, but you can do it after. You need to have at least the Interix SDK installed. The utilities cc and c89 are used to control MSVC compiling programs. You can get more information on downloading MSVC from: http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/. Subsystem for Unix-based Applications (Interix) is available for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows systems starting from Windows 2003/R2 forward. However, at this time the gcc compiler and hence the gdb debugger are only available for creating 32-bit objects. 32-bit programs can be run on the 64-bit systems. To create 64-bit objects you will need to use the MSVC 64-bit compiler.
