Heart  Looking for a Compiler

Hello Forum Go-ers,

I'm alive, still working on Lucid, and juggling 5 university courses :D

(Un)fortunately for me, one of those university courses happens to be ENGG 233, Computing for Engineers. I'm going to need a program for compiling C++ scripts into working programs. If you happen to have any beautiful links to free compilers, I would be forever in your debt c:

Hopefully Off-Topic is an A-okay place to put this thread, apologies to the mod who ends up moving this if it isn't.

Cheers,
~ Kiandra (Emily)

Nah this is the right place for such a thread Smile

About the thread matter...I assume you might have tried this already, but have you considered googling "c++ compiler", and see what that turns up?

I did c: The results were just articles about what a compiler is and forum pages with dead links.

How about "c++ compiler download"? Smile

Trying is the first step to success.

Try to get a student version of Microsoft studio C++. Considered one of the best.

gcc works on most platforms and can compile C++.

RE: Looking for a Compiler

It depends on which operating system you are using.

For windows, the popular ones are MingW (a port of gcc) and Visual Studio.
You can get Express editions of Visual Studio for free.

I'm a bit biased though, I teach C++ using Visual Studio for a living.

It is also going to depend on what the course actually supports or requires. A specific compiler might be required by the teaching staff.

One advantage of Code::Blocks is that it's fairly portable.
Here it is running on my Pandora (linux based arm mini laptop, as small as a nintendo ds):

Although technically Code::Blocks is not a compiler. It's the interface, the actual back end that does the compiling is usually GCC (or the MingW version of GCC on windows).
