What do you mean by "windows compiler"? In general, a compiler that
generates executable code for any specific platform will not run on
another platform.

I don't know how CodeWarrior works, but if you have to target a specific
OS when you build then it probably just compiles differently for each
platform. I'd guess that it probably generates some kind of interpreted
p-code which is then bound up with an executable interpreter that is
specific for each OS. Just a guess tho.

Again, I have no idea what "REAL Basic" is, but it probably generates
code that is interpreted by a native code application on each target
platform.
