C++ Compiler??

MMOlover · 07-20-2005, 08:51 AM

I have searched the NET for over 5 months and still can't find a FREE c++ compiler. Does this exist? Do people actually code in c++ without paying over $17,000 for the software? Am I living in a Fantasy Land, to believe that I can get a free c++ Compiler?

Please help me out. I need a FREE c++ Compiler. Someone has to know where one is, as I am slowly losing my mind and falling loosely into a Suicidal State of Euphoria.

Thank you, and I will be awaiting your replies which will guide me to a Location where I can download a FREE c++ Compiler.

Bloodsheds devcpp A few more pointers: GCC, MingW, Free C++ compilers I hope this helps abit..
If you chose he correct search term with google it would even give you a decent output.

*** Addition by Val ***
I endorse DevCPP, the one redhead mentioned.
I also highly endorse Code::Blocks .
Both are ISO compliant compilers with fully integrated IDE + visual debugger. And it's all free!

I haven't really looked for free stuff. I'm sure you can find one. However, I got my Borland C++ BuilderX Personal Edition (fully featured and current) for a mere 25 bucks. It came in a book that i have been using to teach myself the language. You could get a book from the library that has a compiler with it.
Hope this helps.

edit:
I was looking at this site called freebyte.com and it had a bunch of compilers for download.

Visual C++ Express is free for at least a few more months.

The Digital Mars compiler is also free, and I believe it can be integrated into Code::Blocks and/or other IDEs.

The Express versions are indeed available for free still (just downloaded C# the other night), and frankly I'd highly recommend them.

Does anyone know of a good free compiler for OS X?

Sign up for the ADC Online membership, which should get you access to XCode.

XCode is the free Apple IDE that uses gcc and g++ as the C/C++ compilers. Not the best compilers out there, but definitely the compilers on the most platforms.

dev c++ gets my vote for being a decent free compiler for c and c++ and I am not sure what else it can do as of yet.

Mac OS X includes all the tools, frameworks, and documentation you need to create fantastic applications for the Mac. Xcode is the same professional developer toolset used by Apple to create Mac OS X, as well as many great Apple applications, and Xcode is included with every copy of Mac OS X. As new hardware or platforms are released, updated versions of Xcode to support these platforms will be available to download from the ADC website. Xcode's documentation is regularly updated using RSS downloads so you always have the latest information.

The Xcode IDE is optimized to create fantastic Cocoa applications, but it also supports an open, extensible architecture that is great for developing portable UNIX tools using the GCC compiler, experimenting with the latest script languages, and building rich Web-based applications. Bundled are industry-leading analysis tools such as Instruments that make it even easier to maximize the 64-bit and multi-core hardware of the latest Macs.
