DJGPP Alternatives

    DJGPP is described as '(DJ's GNU Programming Platform) is a development suite for 386+ IBM PC compatibles which supports DOS-enabled operating systems. It is guided by DJ Delorie, who began the project in 1989' and is an app in the Development category. There are five alternatives to DJGPP for Windows, Linux and BSD. The best alternative is Cygwin, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like DJGPP are MinGW (Free, Open Source), MSYS2 (Free, Open Source), MinGW-w64 (Free, Open Source) and gow (Free, Open Source).
