This one time, at Burger camp:
I'm looking for a decent free C/C++ compiler/editor (well, a dev environment really).

Shhhhhh, if they find out that C++ isn't an operating system, we're all doomed.

For now I'm using DEVcpp (an open source C++/C IDE under the GNU public license. Still in beta but not too buggy)

yes, I do admit that for coding, linux is a great platform, but as it stands, I don't have a running linux install, so I was just looking for a little input.

Notepad and the Borland command line compiler, bish.

Mog was responding to the last line of Burger's post, brainiac.

If the company pays for it it's free, right?

If all I wanted was a text editor and a command line compiler I'd SSH into the school servers and use vi to edit and the unix C compiler.

But I prefer colour coded text, that automatically carries my indents and that has all the other little conveniences that come from an editor that was purpose built. (and a shortcut to save&compile and a shortcut to save/compile/run) and such.

If you have to go free, get djgpp, the free version of linux's compiler. You can do a quick yahoo search to find a lot of frontends for it, they are a dime a dozen if i remember correctly.

because you can't POSSIBLY be good at coding unless you don't use the tools that the guys who do it for a living use.

when I'm at school, I use a general text editor and a command line compiler, but at home, I like the fancy colours and the easy testing from a hotkey save+compile. I don't use all the fancy debugging and lord knows what else is built into a full fledged environment, because for what I'm doing, it's overkill.

And I'll try the other suggested options. thanks all.

We also use Netbeans a lot for Java work, and I think you can tie in the C/C++ compilers into it.

gvim is available for Windows as well (Though I think you actually just run the vim.exe ) and it has code highlighting and stuff.

I think there's something called emacs out there too, but you don't want that.
