Simon,

I believe you earlier asked about cross-development compiler tools for
Windows development?

If I understand your question (and if it was you that asked), there are
several alternatives that I am aware of.

1. Al Stevens donated "Quincy" for free usage. It is a relatively simple ide
that utilizes a gnu based compiler/linker back-end. It comes with several
editions of his "Teach Yourself C++". The 2002 version comes with edition 7.
It is mostly to facilitate building the sample code in his book.  Kinda
cool, but probably only adequate for early prototypes?

2. The Palm interface to the InVerse Scripture memorization freeware used
the cgywin command line tools. It also uses gnu based compiler back-end. For
me, I had to struggle to set it up, since I have little or no Linux
experience. There may very well be an ide. My impression is that a very
similar setup could be used for the development you have proposed, except
some of the Palm specific files replaced. (someone else on this list
probably is far more aware than I on this)

If you are interested and/or still need info, I can hunt around for links
and directions.

HTH and sharing the reason for the season,
