I have two computers that I code on, one Linux (Gentoo) and one Windows 98SE. The Linux box has all the C++ libraries that one is supposed to have nowadays; the Windows one, on the other hand, only has an obsolete Rhide/DGJPP install that came on a CD with a book, so I can't use vectors/strings/etc. on that one. I'm finding myself dumbing programs down so they will work on the Windows machine (using cout without a namespace, for example).

I'm sure it's a simple matter of copying a few things from somewhere on the internet; I hope I don't have to overwrite the whole directory. Also, where is the definitive place to get the up to date libraries? Could I actually copy libraries over from the Linux box to the Windows box, or will that not work right? Are there instructions somewhere so that I can be sure to copy them to the right place and not have a bunch of redundant/conflicting files/directories?

By the way, I'm new here, so hello.
