DevC++ (with GCC/G++) is quite good too :)

nothing beats Visual C++ if you're searching more than an enhanced notepad with a compile button :gfdrin:

Glibc is the standard GNU C Library used on GNU/Linux, it's not a compiler. You probably mean GCC, which indeed is ported to Windows and can be used for free with the nice Dev-C++ IDE, as Mnjul said. :)

Microsoft Visual C++ .NET Edition(Version 7) or...
Borland C++ 9.0(or whatever version...its outdated),
but I prefer Delphi over any programming language. :)

I think i'd like to learn this C thing :dodgy:

unfortuantly i aint got money or anything (I'll get a copy of  Visual C++ at uni for free but thats months away )

Any suggustions how to start me off?

Well there are plenty of free compilers available on the net (like some of the ones posted above), but tutorials for beginners are rare to come by (well, they were when I tried...and as a result I gave up in the end :-/).  I would imagine you would probably be better to buy a book.  It worked for me with PHP. :p

Again, Dev-C++ is the most popular free IDE (Integrated Development Environment) for C/C++ under Windows. It's highly recommended if you don't want to spend any money. :p

thanks sock :P

Now all I need is some tutorials to start me off coding

* Wabz looks for a decent book on amazon
Any recommendations?
RE: what is a good c/c++ compiler? by musicalmidget on 04-21-2004 at 02:17 PM

Well, when I learnt PHP I used the "PHP for Dummies" book, because it explains absolutely everything.  I'm pretty sure there is a "C/C++ for Dummies" too, so if there is I would recommend that. :)

Heck, if there is, I may even buy it myself. :p
