| Are there any good free C++ compilers out there? I know there are free compilers, I just don't know which one to download. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Edit: Oops. Meant to put this in Programming, not AcmlmBoard programming. (edited by Apophis on 02-20-05 03:04 PM) |

Mingw is pretty good. There's also the Visual C++ Toolkit 2003, of which I know nothing about, apart from the fact it's free.  |

| you can also use GCC. GCC is available for windows via cygwin (although I think it uses Mingw though...) | |||

| Dev-Cpp is also a good one, uses the gcc compiler and has a nice IDE, I would go with that, or Mingw | |||

| Some clarifications: GCC is the compiler. MinGW and Cygwin are 'UNIX abstraction layers' for Windows, which allow you to compile Windows programs with GCC. Dev-C++ is an IDE. If you download Dev-C++, you'll get the IDE and a MinGW package with GCC. Of course, you can also download each package seperately. I downloaded MinGW and GCC 3.4, opting not to use the IDE at all. MinGW: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw (includes GCC) Dev-C++: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dev-cpp (includes MinGW and GCC) |

Originally posted by ParasyteIs that so? If MinGW is an abstraction layer, why does Cygwin use it since it is one too? Then again, I only need MinGW when I need gcc... can you clarify? |

| MinGW and Cygwin are seperate projects. Cygwin is more of a complete UNIX environment, similar to MinGW+MSYS. (MSYS is another package available on the MinGW sourceforge site.) Cygwin: http://www.cygwin.com/ |

I've always used cygwin to do my UNIX needs on windows. I"ve always heard about MinGW in terms of C compilers and nothing more. Now, I'm enlightened, thanks  |

What I've been using is just MinGW and Textpad. Open up a DOS window to wherever you keep the source codes, and compile and run with a generic makefile; I use this as a base (only works on XP):@echo off |

You can pass the -x switch to gcc to get it to compile c++. I can't remember if it's -x cpp or -x c++. But one of those will do the trick. Rather than using g++, though that's what gcc will call with the -x switch set to compile C++ code. (blah)(edited by Parasyte on 02-22-05 01:49 AM) |

| g++ is just an alias for gcc with that flag...after all, it doesn't make sense to have a seperate compiler that practically compiles the same exact code--since all C++ code can be rewritten in terms of C |
