   It sounds like you can getting started with no compiler. The first
constrain you should
find is the "CINT" classes can not be derived from the "compiled" classes
(namely
from the ROOT classes). From another hand ROOT is not only "CINT-based"
class library.
There are other "pre-compiled" class libraries you may be interesting in
(for futher information
see ROOT Web site http://root.cern.ch/root/Cint.html .
 It says:
" . . .
 * More applications
   We have done, so far, following integration.
   ROOT/CINT framework: Next generation C++ Object Oriented Framework
   WildC++ interpreter: CINT + Tcl/Tk
   CINTOCX            : CINT + VisualBasic

   There are unlimited opportunity of CINT integration. To list up a few,
   Cint3D             : CINT, openGL, DirectModel, VRML integration for 3D
   VeriCint           : CINT + Verilog-XL simulator connected by PLI and
TCP/IP
   MathCint           : CINT + Math library + Digital Filter Design tool,
etc
   CintSQL            : CINT + Database connection
   CintWin32          : CINT + Win32 API
   Your contribution will be greatly appreciated.
