you can get (and indeed most linux distributions come with) gcc/g++...
a gnu c/c++ compiler that is basically the same as djgpp...if you're
looking to sell applications for linux, you're free to do so  using
that compiler; just remember that any code you borrow from other
programs under the gnu public license have to be included intact
and with credit documentation...but go ahead, knock yourself out.
