Hello guys!

So far, I only can complie files with the Borland compiler that work only in MS-DOS mode. As you guys know, MS-DOS is ancient....some people have never even heard about it!!!!

Yeah, that's the truth...but anywayz, do you guys have a compiler that can do the same as Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler that is free? I am not looking for illegal stuff or anything. I am looking for a fully legimate program that can do almost exactly the same as Microsoft Visual C++.

I really want to know, and don't worry., I am not posting this for fun. I really want to know. I'm stuck on this post and hope you guys can give me a resource.

Thanks

Sure there are.
You can try DEV-C++. It's free and open source.
Or maybe there is GCC for win32, I am not sure.

[Shackman]

Can you give me more details? I am getting hazy results via google.

A programmer should not be lazy in search.

Hehe

Thanks alot bro, you really made my life easier...

I tried most of the free ones, but after all that i just got a copy of Microsoft Visual Studio from ebay and its really easy to work with.

There IS a GCC for Win32 (MinGW):

You should also try Eclipse and of course DevCPP.

What is the reason that you need free programming tool? Maybe I can tell you about similar projects

Devc++ isnt verry good.. try microsoft c++ visual studio.. its realy easy

[Shackman]

Ermm....microsoft c++ visual studio is a commercial C++ compiler. I know its really ver ygood but I don't have the money.

If you are thinking about pirates...its hard to get any in Singapore.

Devc++ is not really what I am looking for. However, it does make coding easier because it has a better interface than notepad. If you guys do find more software that compiles C++ source codes which are free and almost equivelent to microsoft c++ visual studio, do post here.

Thanks

http://www.parinya.ca/ <-- this is the MinGw Developer studio, very very cute! It's my favourite c/c++ free compiler

Download the package n.2, it could be perfect. But, if you want to work with wxWindows, download the package 3


good luck!
