i find doing anything other than downloading spyware and viruses really 
hard in
windows, i still do all my debugging and stuff in linux land, but when i am
stuck with doze devcpp easiest way to get up and running... :P i can have my
entirte IDE and all the files i need on a usb stick and it just works of the
pen.. i have attempted to set up different environments for programming on the
doze, but it just sux too much.. and as a user who hates all this setup
configue this point to that link this you didnt type that frolocks, all i'm
saying is that is the best way to get into doing the sdl on the doze :P 
when my
code is finished i will use a cross compiler in linux land to make the binary.

i mean why the fonze cant it just be frikkin easy to start using c and
programming, for some reason it isnt it's a complete beach, unless use use an
IDE that has everything setup for you, or just about..

sorry, i'm a lazy human, i like IDE's, i like not having to trawl through some
command line or really nasty implementation of a filesystem to get things
going.. if your setting out in c it sucks.. it sucks bad.. first you gotta get
your head round the frikkin language then you wanna code something and you
gotta script this bingle that tweak your niplles and whatever else ;)

and its always very easy for experienced people to say how simple it is to use
this script that bingle just flange it over there, but when you dont 
know jack,
you dont know jack.. like most linux documentation.. you are assumed 
you already
know who jack is and all about jack his mother father sister and 
cousins, but if
you dont know jack what a jill is or anything about any hills then you just
stuck, it's like noone wants things to be simple

ok i'll shut up now

no, i'm not drunk ;)
