Idiot.
The C code is in text format, which can be done with lots of things that
either come with Windows or is a free download.
How do they do unit testing and compilation?
They don't, the integrator does.
I know of no one running Windows that hasn't downloaded piles of free
stuff.
Me.
That's because you are an idiot.
So you don't have Firefox, Adobe Reader, Flash Player, or anything else?
You can't even work up the initiative to download free tools.
Serious contracts often require more than just a free download. You have to
compile and test code. You may need an entire testbed, which sometimes
requires a dedicated machine.
I would call a half million dollar contract a serious contract.
Have you ever seen a half million dollars?
SOMEONE has to compile and test the code, but it doesn't necessarily
have to be the person that wrote the code.
I can see why you are not in IT and that you know about as much about
IT in the real world as you know about flying in the real world.
In summary:
OP: You can get work as a coder you do at home.
YOU: I probably don't have the infrastructure.
ME: I've paid such coders nearly $100,000 in the last year who's
infrastructure consists of a PC and an Internet connection, so
infrastructure isn't a big deal.
YOU: A bunch of arm waving about downloading free tools which enable
people to make a real living.
The bottom line is that there are people in the world doing coding at
home where the infrastructure expense on top of the PC and Internet
connection is zero and who are making a LOT of money.
The biggest problem I had with these people was that they are so busy
with other work we had to juggle schedules to get things done.
All your arm waving idiotic arguements that free tools don't come
bundled with the PC when delivered are just nonsense excuses for your
failures.
If you weren't such a whining, incompetent loser, and actually had
any IT talent, you could have been one of them and made a big chunk
of the $100,000 for a few months work.
But you will never make any money because you are too busy making
excuses why you can't and engaging in idiotic arguements to justify
your failures.
