Version 19 of C

C [L1 ] is a programming language found first [L2 ] on Unix systems but now found on many platforms. The FSF's gcc compiler is a quite popular C compiler found on many platforms and operating systems.

Also, most Unix systems have vendor supported compilers. They are often unbundled products these days. Sun is one of the vendors who have this type of product.

On Microsoft Windows there are many options, including

the commercially available Visual C++ from Microsoft,
C++Builder from Borland,
the Cygwin C compiler (a version of gcc; for some strange reason it cannot be used to compile the Tcl source code itself - but Cygwin comes with its own version of Tcl at least),

the Mingw C compiler [L3 ] (another version of gcc for Windows with slightly different goals), CodeWarrior [L4 ], Digital Mars C [L5 ], which was once Zortech C and later became Symantec C, LCC-Win32 [L6 ] [Can that compile Tcl itself?], etc.

The number of C compilers available on MacOS is more limited. There is the commercially available CodeWarrior by Metrowerks [L7 ] for MacOS Classic and MacOS X, Apple's MPW for MacOS Classic (a free download these days), and only under MacOS X, there is gcc, either used stand-alone or with Apple's free ProjectBuilder IDE.
