What is the difference between C and Linux?

There is very little difference in the C compiler between Unix and Linux; in some cases (the gcc compiler) it is the same. The differences come in when using system calls; some system calls do not exist in Unix or Linux, although most do. The program I work on compiles the same way (for the most part) between all commercial versions of Unix and several variants of Linux. In other words, the code is fairly portable across platforms.


What is cross compiler?

A cross-platform compiler can compile applications for multiple platforms, such as Windows, Linux, and Mac. An open-source cross-platform compiler is GCC (the GNU C Compiler). A cross-platform compiler uses a language that can be compiled on to multiple targets, such as C, C++, or haxe. It is required to compile the same source code multiple times, one for each target platform; a program such as make can be used to reduce the number of commands the user actually executes to just a single command.
