The Question is:

 
Hello,
Is it possible to compile C++ sources on the PC (WIN NT) and get ALPHA
 (openVMS)-Binarys as result?
 
Regards,
R.Dol
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The direct answer would involve a cross-compiler -- a compiler that
  operates on a Microsoft operating system on an Intel or compatible
  processor and that generates object or executable code compatible
  with OpenVMS Alpha, and the OpenVMS Wizard is unaware of any such
  cross-compiler.
 
  An alternative approach would involve the OpeNVMS Enterprise Toolkit,
  an environment available from Compaq that permits programmers to develop
  OpenVMS applications using tools that are familiar to programmers
  accustomed to Microsoft-based environments.  Details on the Enterprise
  Toolkit are available via http://www.openvms.compaq.com/commercial/.
