The reason I am using this compiler is that it is just about the only free compiler around. I have EVC++ 3 and 4 - but I understand that UPP doesn't support these (quite rightly - the template support is at the level of the old MSVC 6).
The compiler is actually hosted (and compiled) under Cygwin.
Unfortunately I don't have anything to compare it with, unless I try to compile some of the EVC++ applications with it.
Anyway I can now compile all the 'clock' example, but I am stuck with linking. The IDE insists on adding the following libraries to the link command line, and I am working on that right now.
-ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lwinmm
By the way, the linker also complains that the libraries have no indexes, so I ran ranlib 'by hand' - which I can live with, though I expect there's a way of adding in it somewhere.
