Hi, I'm thinking of writing a small application that can run on both Linux and Windows written in GCC C/C++ that will utilize MySql running on Linux . Initially I need the application to run on Windows XP or Vista and connect to the Linux box to access MySql. Is it possible to write an application using GCC that will run both on Linux and Windows?  If so what should I be looking into? Is there a better approach? Thanks in advance, Keith ------------------------
