Not necessarily, you can use Microsoft's Visual C 6.0, too. Be sure to
use the "thread-safe dynamic C runtime" or whatever the Visual Studio
calls it, meaning msvcrt.dll. (Use the -MD switch on the cl command
line.) You might also be able to use newer versions of Microsoft's
compiler, but there are some technical risks in doing so because those
compilers can't produce code linked to msvcrt.dll. GTK+ uses
msvcrt.dll.

Even if you use gcc (i.e., mingw) to build your application, that
doesn't mean you will get any Unix emulation.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking...
