    Default Compiling

    What program do you use to compile source codes into a format that the DC will recongnize so it will boot?

    Make, though you're probably wanting more information. Right now, I can't answer you in detail but in short you need Cygwin, GCC and KOS.

    Duh, a COMPILER maybe? :-)

    In the case of Dreamcast homebrew development that would be the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), targeted at the Dreamscast's CPU (SH4). Support for C and C++ programs is available.

    The group of programs that create the actual Dreamcast binary code and executable file is called binutils (gas is the assembler that produces the binary code, ld is the linker that produces the final program). GCC can act as a front end to these programs, so you don't have to run them yourself.

    "make" is just a tool that manages all the different source code files and compilation steps for you.

    This might be worth checking out as well.
