[Ropy]

Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/) is a very good compiler.

Dev C++ or Codeblocks google them :D

[Imac]

I don't know much but the c and c plus plus books tell u where. U can always google the free ones. Like dev plus plus. Netbeans gcc and borland.

You shouldn't have a problem with it. If it's not a 64bit app it'll install as a 32bit one was work just the same.

[techie2000]

you could always install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) under windows and use g++ or cc to compile your programs.

You could take it a step further Microsoft (http://www.microsoft.com/express/Windows/) has Visual Studio Express with includes Visual c++. This is free

If you are looking for an IDE to use with a 3rd party compiler take a look at Eclipse CDT (http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/)

[Imac]

Try code blocks and let me know what its like.

Borland C++ will not run on a 64-bit version of Windows.

You can however get it to run in the XP-mode environment in Windows7 X64.

look for dev c++ portable........
thats what im using

[gemel_1287]

aite thanks all. code blocks proved to be more to my likings. much thanks

having a problem with code blocks. ive run the application once after installation an it worked fine. later wen i tried to use it i keep getting a message saying the file has not been built yet. even after i agree to do that it continually pops up asking the same. if i click no the program doesnt run and it says process was terminated.

[Ropy]

Run it in Vista compatibility mode and see what happenes.

[gemel_1287]

tried , same problm. i checked google an it seems others have had the same problem so i'm wonderin if its a bug, havent found any solutions so far tho

There are a few ebooks and sites that can put you on your way. If you are completely new to c++ try http://www.cprogramming.com/tutorial/lesson1.html

Thats by far the easiest and clearest tutorial I know and its what got me started... I might create a topic and dump all the tutorials and ebooks there.
