Well I know 'GCC' is a compiler, but where can I download it and such, and is it simple to use? =) |

If you're using Windows, I'd suggest the MinGW version. http://www.mingw.org Note: GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. "gcc" is a compiler within that collection which compiles C source code. "g++" compiles C++. "gcj" compiles Java (not terribly complete at this time). "gnat" compiles Ada. |

So Visual G++ is what I am looking for to compile C++ ? 'A lightweight portable C/C++ IDE' |

Being a newbie I strongly recommend that you not use an IDE. It's easier to learn the language that way. http://prdownloads.sf.net/mingw/MinGW-3.1.0-1.exe?download Now, just acquaint yourself with the Windows command-line so you can "cd" to the directory (folder) your source files are in, and compiling a file is as easy as:

Bloodshed's Dev-C++ IDE is free and for the Mingw compiler (comes with in the installer). Its a nice tool, but I traded it off the Visual Studio 2003 and the 2005 beta because i coul'd get the code completion to work http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/ |

One word. Cygwin. I use gcc on it to compile all my c/c++ code and it's a little linuxy for me. It's closer than DOS. Cygwin + GCC + Notepad++ makes for good coding. -OMouse |

Cygwin + GCC + Notepad++ makes for good coding. MinGW gets you the same ease for coding, and compiles without need for the Cygwin DLL. |

GCC is either the C compiler or the Gnu Compiler Collection. A collection of compilers for a bunch of languages such as C, C++, Forton, Objective-C, Java, and Ada. http://gcc.gnu.org |
