You probably cant. As a general rule, you cannot just take executable binaries from one OS to another OS and expect them to work. You will probably have to recompile.

is it like this
Thanks for the reply.You mean to say that i have to recompile growth.c to produce a .out file(exe file in unix).Let me know if iam wrong

Not necessary to call the file a.out. That is just the default name. Most C compilers allow you to name the output file using the '-o <filename>' option.

But yes, you need to recompile. Best of luck.

There might be incompatibilities in the BSD compiler that you are using and the TurboC 3.0 compiler that gave you a clean compile for this file. There will also be differences in the files that you #include in unix and #include in Windows.

You should really be looking at a proper port of the application if you are moving to a new OS.
