Developing for BeOS

I would love to develop software for the BeOS, but I only have a PC. Is there any way to develop the code on a PC and then port it to the BeOS?

You cannot today develop for the BeOS on an Intel-based machine. Currently your only option is to develop natively on the BeOS, running on either a Power Mac or a BeBox.

We do intend to support native BeOS software development on the Intel release of the BeOS. See our BeOS for Intel FAQ for more details as they are known.

Is there a version of gcc for the BeOS?

Why did Be choose C++ as the development environment?
