- 1Why must it be built with the proprietary compiler? Is it just non-standard features/extensions someone else could theoretically add to their compiler, or something thornier like legal/contractual issues?Ixrec– Ixrec2016-05-14 17:51:01 +00:00Commented May 14, 2016 at 17:51
- 1There is a similar discussion here: opensource.stackexchange.com/questions/2688/…. I can't find anywhere anything directly prohibiting compilation requirering a tool that is commercial. You can have GPL programs that require windows to run and even require windows to build at all. That does not seem to be a problem.Bent– Bent2016-05-14 17:55:11 +00:00Commented May 14, 2016 at 17:55

- 2I'm just curious what platform/language you are using that doesn't have a free compiler.Thomas Owens– Thomas Owens ♦2016-05-14 18:24:32 +00:00Commented May 14, 2016 at 18:24
- @ThomasOwens, obviously a private extension.Pacerier– Pacerier2022-03-04 14:41:01 +00:00Commented Mar 4, 2022 at 14:41

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
