0 neowin_hipster Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 GCC -probably the best compiler out there, whereas VisualStudio.Net is the best developper environment out there for many many reasons. If you want simplicity i recommend dev-c++ with mingw (the windows version of gcc 3.2). http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 kyo116 Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 here's an old post: https://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?act=...ST&f=47&t=51060 dev c++, djgpp(DOS) for me. if u need a development environment, visual c++ or c++ builder. turbo c++ 3.0(DOS) is also a good compiler and comes with a ide. borland c++ 5 is a free compiler, but without ide.

0 irasnyd Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 DevC++ is pretty good. Its what I started on, and it worked great for a while, but it does have problems. I reccommend Borland's free DOS compiler, and a text editing environment that has syntax highlighting. One that I found works very well is textpad (www.textpad.com). You can even set it up so that you can click "Run," and it will compile and run the project for you. If you'd like, I will put up instructions on how to get it customized like this.

0 frod Posted December 11, 2002 Share Posted December 11, 2002 probably really depends on what you are using it for. i mean if you want a compiler for your class i'd recommend using whatever compiler your instructor uses. if you have troubles remembering syntax you might want a compiler that has flag/parameter completion and such. i use vc++.net just because i got a copy of vs.net for free. i like it, it's easy to use and pressing tab a whole bunch of times will usually get you a line of code ;P. but yeah, i suggest looking at what you need, what you want, and what you can get and combining it to get whatever is best for you.
