Borland C++ Builder is a pretty good little compiler and worth checking out.

There is a free version, I think.

G++ is the GNU C++ compiler, it's great if you don't want or need an IDE

Dev-C++ is the best free compiler I've seen, it uses the GCC 3.2 and is pretty good as long as you're not developing anything that uses the Win32API or DirectX.

djgpp is the best free compiler that i've found.

personally i have msvc++ .net, because i do alot of directx stuff.

i dont know if im using djgpp or dev-c++ (think its the latter).
Bloodshed are the makers. Quite good.
don't let the name put you off
C is thought to make learning C++ harder, but if youre in far, just roll with it i guess :|

Bloodshed makes Dev-C++ and I pity anyone still using a DOS compiler (AKA DJGPP) for windows stuff. I also have the latest visual stuio for windows applications.

KAzza + search for Visual c++ 6.0 does wonders

If you're going to pirate, do it right, get Visual Studio .NET 2003.

.net compiler is a C++ compiler for windows and it does what it says. If you're referrin to C#, then yeah that's not really C++ it's a managed version of C that Microsoft made for their .NET web platform. However Visual Studio does have their C++ compiler as well as C# VB, and J# compilers.

I use MSVC++ .... for the same reason, but I can't afford to buy .NET :|

(C makes C++ harder, for me it did anyway )

whats the ****ing point of DL VB just for the C++ compiler, if your learning to code don't learn VB first, it will make everything else seem ****ing impossible.
