I need a good C++ compiler that is free. I am just starting to learn C++ and I need one with a good user interface that is easy to use... I tried Dev-C++ and its ok but when I compile my program and try to run it, the program opens for maybe 1 second before disapearing OR it just doesnt open at all...
JGRASP is a good multi-language development environment, it supports C++.
use gcc if you have a spare linux box - for window$ use dev-c++ available at www.bloodshed.net It uses the MingW base libs and is top of the sexyness. Good luck!

But bipper really loves Java so take whatever he says in regards to C++ with a grain of salt. :p
string sarcasm = 'Lawl.' ;

Flying Mullet of Fury had a hint of sarcasm in there. I loathe Java.
With that cleared up, I am currently applying for a Java Gig that pays very well ><
I am a sell out.';

The cleaner way would be to asc for user input before terminating (ie "Press any key to contine" Followed by a getchar command

If you use system(), make sure to include stdlib.h
As a development environment, get Eclipse. Seriously. It works for Java development, C/C++ development, and more.
Eclipse is good for sure. I have to use it at work, but it can get a little distracting at points. Don't worry about Java development though :) I personally do not like eclipse, but that has to do more with an extreme bias against its creators.
I try to stick with GCC and compliance myself. If you really want to learn c, get a linux box and use GCC as stated above ;)

gcc + a good makefile >>>> most.

But who needs Eclipse when you can have Vim. :)
You mean Vi? Personally, I use nano sometimes. :pQuote:
