C++ compilers

[71 LS6]

Does anyone know where I can download a free C++ compiler? I need to get one so I can do some of my programming at home, but I'm not sure where I can get one for free. I'd like to get one that's similar to codewarrior, since that's what I normally use. Anyway, thanks in advance for your help

you can "download" codewarrior from the right "places" lol

CW is the best i havent used anything that was even semi decent other than that. There is one called blood C++ or something like that. It was decent

Re: C++ compilers

What OS are you using? If you are using *nix(Linux, HP-UX, Solaris, any of the BSD variants, etc etc) then you have g++ at your disposal ...

If using WinBlow$ ... then you may need to look around ... you can check out Cygwin for an option ... though if you arent comfortable installing something that rides on top of WinBlow$ then you might want to avoid it.

i am not sure if this is like your program but... GNU C++

If not i would recommend *cough* kazaa *cough* and get what you need.

GNU C++ is, I think, only useable though the use of Cygwin on top of Windows ... I may be wrong though ...

Also if you only want to compile and not execute, there are several demo compilers that will test to see if you code can be compiled ... they just fail to generate the .exe file ... though this too can be fixed (cracked) pretty easily.

Ahh we started using codewarrior in school, its the biggest pain in the arse. Its supposed to be really good. I'm just used to borland I guess. Borland for ever
ItKs alAso frZee frZom ceArtain places. Now damn, look at my spelling.

I write C++ for a living...

Here's some suggestions:

1. Download DJGPP. It's a DOS/Windows Port of GCC.

or

2. Download the Borland C++ Compiler set. It's just the compiler without the windows frontend or debugger. Its free.

You'll also need a decent source editor and debugger.
I recommend MED as a good free text editor and DDD is a great freeware debugger.

Its not codewarrior, but it's C++.

Have fun

you could use note pad for programming then convert it at work.....

GNU Compiler Collection Baby!

Dude... CW on the Mac ROCKS! But it bites on the PC...
