I can get visual studio .net 2002, 2003 or plain visual studio 6 free for download from my university but they look pretty much over kill for what i do. I generally code in plain ANSI C/C++ and i dont want to give huge disk space for just a compiler and it's libraries. I would really appreciate if somebody could point me to a c/c++ or even fortran compiler IDE for windows that i can buy/download/etc.. for my personal use.

I've got Codewarrior 6 for Windows from a magazine cover (version 8 or 9 is probably current and costs real money), and for writing C or C++ code even that essentially free version is pure heaven compared to .Net. Or try the Watcom compiler. C, C++ and Fortran, and all free including source code. I haven't tried any of them yet :-) Back to top KTC Guest Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2004 2:22 am    Post subject: Re: c/c++ compiler on windows Anand S Bisen <abisen (AT) example (DOT) com> for some reason wrote: Quote: Hello Generally i write my programs in some sort of unix boxes, but now that i got a laptop and i have windows xp running on top of that i was shopping around for a decent c/c++ compiler.

Thanks Anand This is really not topical on clc. I doubt it is topical for clc++, either. Look into cygwin or mingw.

I also suggest maybe a good text editor like Crimson Editor or whatever you like. I don't program too much on Windows, but when I do, that's the combo I use.

Try the Metrowerks Codewarrior compiler. Ugh. I think this is one of the most abysmal IDE / compiler environments currently in production. The fact that you got it free doesn't make it much better. Especially, when the Bloodshed Dev-C++/gcc package is also free, and far better. http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html -- Randy Howard 2reply remove FOOBAR Back to top Buck Rogers Guest Posted: Sun Feb 01, 2004 12:06 am    Post subject: Re: c/c++ compiler on windows On Fri, 30 Jan 2004 20:24:11 -0500, Anand S Bisen <abisen (AT) example (DOT) com> wrote: Quote: Hello Generally i write my programs in some sort of unix boxes, but now that i got a laptop and i have windows xp running on top of that i was shopping around for a decent c/c++ compiler.
