Hello I am not quite sure if I post this request in the correct form, but I wonder if anyone knows of any free, and good c++ compilers? I am completely new to c++, but I have some experience in other languages, like pascal. However I am an poor man, and want to test my how far my skills can reach using c++, and by the power of beeing poor, I cannot use the largest companies compilers (like microsoft) but I am on a winxp system and need a free compiler.. Can anyone help me? Drunken regards Mr. Lemon Tea (herr Sitron Te) | |

Why can't you use Visual C++? You can get the express editions for free: http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ Other people like Dev C++, but I've never used it, so I can't tell you if it's good or not. | |

Dev C++ is an IDE, it comes with MingW's port of GCC compiler. Great Compiler by the way and its ***free***. http://www.bloodshed.net/download.html You will notice they have a Pascal IDE too, with the Free pascal compiler. But yeah... Visual Studio another IDE that comes with Microsoft's compiler is a nice choice too for its very user friendly interface.(IMO the best IDE for windows os) Express edition: (free edition) http://www.microsoft.com/express/download/ if all you want is a compiler: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Search.aspx?displaylang=en theres a link for the SDK it comes with the latest version of the compiler and all the header files. GNU C++ compiler GCC(g++) http://gcc.gnu.org/ MingW GCC port for windows. http://www.mingw.org/ Hope this helps. Jeff | |

http://www.mingw.org/MinGWiki/index.php/executables%20large?PHPSESSID=7d86895169a77f96b20623b033d88034 That link will take you to some extra compiler/linker directives to make the executables smaller. *EDIT* Also UPX can be used to compress the executable size. | |

> Visual C++ Express doesn't let you make .exez ??? What is this bullshit ? Avoid devcpp , VS Express is by far the best IDE. | |

| When you have built your project or solution in MS Visual Studio, you can find your executable file in the Debug or Release folder in your project folder. | |

I find it odd nobody has mentioned Eclipse + CDT. After using MSVC++, Dev-C++ and Installing Code::Blocks for a trial I have found Eclipse to be the best IDE hands-down. You install the MingW (GCC) compiler, gdb debugger and run Eclipse+CDT on any platform you choose. It's cross-platform ability alone makes it a good choice. Eclipse also has numerous plugins for various source control systems (CVS, SVN etc). If you want a simple, fast IDE then Dev-C++ is the way to go. But you'd prob end up moving up to Eclipse later on if you took that path. | |
