Is GCC Just for Linux? No, GCC is not limited to Linux. GCC stands for GNU Compiler Collection and is developed by the Free Software Foundation as part of the GNU project. GCC supports many different operating systems including Linux but also supports other platforms such as Solaris, Microsoft Windows, macOS, and many others. So, GCC is not just for Linux, but it is also available for a wide range of other operating systems. ...
