Hi y'all may remember I asked you people some time ago what the best guide to C++ would be according to you now, another question from the same friend (and again, that's no special psychological value for 'me'  )What is according to you people the best C++ compiler, and where can he get it? I ask this on this forum btw, since it's not crazy  and there are a lot of smart people in here, so hey Thanks in advance Bail and his friend _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!

Oh, yeah, I forgot to say anything about tutorials... Well, I don't think I know online tutorials but I would DEFINITELY suggest "The C++ Programming Language 3rd Edition"... _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. |

Another website for C++: http://www.gametutorials.com/Tutorials/tutorials.htm It also has C, OpenGL, and DirectX If you want OpenGL, though: http://nehe.gamedev.net/ The entire Gamedev network is down at the time of this post, though. |

Oh, check this out: Master has a list of some good C++ compilers: click me For you who don't know who Master is, it's Bjarne Stroustrup!  Nah j/k, I just now saw a guy on a newsgroup call him master and I thought it was funny  EDIT: I just found out that he is Danish!!! OMFG!!! He's related to Aratan? _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow. This comment was edited by _cmad_ on Dec 31 2003 04:31pm. |

Well, depends on what OS you're using: Linux: use g++ (which is in GCC), since it's already there & free. I use that too since I haven't found a reason not to; it is helpful and relies 100% (I guess) on the standard. I dare say that this may be one of the best compilers for linux. Windows: options for you: 1) Get a Borland C++ compiler, which I don't suggest though 2) Get cygwin which will allow you to develop a bit crossplatform (linux-windows) code, but not 100% of it 3) ... many other compiler which you can search for Mac: sorry, I dunno about this OS  -- I think those are some nice (free) C++ compilers EDIT: you could always grab an intel-compiler as fizz said _______________ Your friends of today, are your enemies of tomorrow.

gnu C++ compiler is OK, and free. but its by far not the best. on an Intel platform, get the Intel compilers, on an AMD, the M$ gives sweet performance. all the others out there may produce swift code, but are not worth mentioning. _______________ One of the Belouve boys, founder of the mighty FiZZsters Midbie council #20 - Fizz - #1933 - Jan '03 - Aug '04 "Renfield, you idiot!" |

Using the GNU C or C++ compiler does not bind you to the terms of the GPL license. You can sell software that you compile with the GNU compiler and you can even sell software that you release under the GPL (You just have to distribute the source-code with it). Cygwin is a nice little thing that lets you use a set of Linux tools in Windows, which includes the GNU C and C++ compilers (gcc and g++). If you dont want something that encompassing, I'd go for Dev-C++ as the others have suggested |

As Scythe and Onion sayd, Devcpp is vary good. But for some basic desition betwean MicrosoftVisualC++(MVcpp) and Gnu-C-Compiler(gcc). Devcpp is only(but a very good one) a texteditor. It has not much to do with the compiler (GCC). You can use other product with the gcc as well. MVcpp is as the name sais from microsoft and is only running under windows. The compiler is more strict than other free ones like the GCC. The code you write is basicly the same, but with some small differences in declaration rules (not realy nessesary). If you write programs for windows, the MVcpp is more effective in speed and size of the code than the GCC. But you can only devellop for Windows if you use it. If you want to devellop for linux or other platforms too, you should use the GCC (version 3.x) The Debugging is with the MVcpp better than with the GCC, becouse it gaves you more infomation. That for technical things. Now something you need to know about the RightsManagement. If you want to sell your programms, you have to by the MVcpp for much money (dont know the price, around 1000 Dollar, but i think its more) becouse of its licence. If you only want it for private devellopment, it would cost around 250 Dollar. If you want to use the GCC, you dont have to pay any thing, its for free. But the Rules of GNU are: if you develop a product with Programms which are under the GNU-Licence, than these product must be under that Licence too. That meens: you need to give your quellcode with your programms, so everybody can change it. I dont know if you are allowed to take money for it, but i dont think so. You have to decide what you want.

just a quick sidenote Don't direct me to the faq since that site about modding start with assuming you know the basic of C++ (If I looked at it right ) _______________ Visit the Belouve Family Website!
