a program to write in C/C++

[ScottySo]

Hey. I recently took a class in which I had to write programs in C. For the purposes of the class I did all my programming on campus computers using Linux. Now I want to program on my home computer but I don't have any sort of program to let me do so. any suggestions? I downloaded SciTE and liked it a lot but I can't compile or run my programs...any help appreciated.

I assume you're using Windows, else this doesn't apply.

SciTE is just a text editor, it has no capabilities for compiling. You can download gcc and cygwin for Windows and use it to compile your code written in SciTE, but that's too cumbersome.

Get VisualC++ EE for free or Visual Studio if you're willing to pay.

I like devcpp. Also worth looking into wx-devcpp if your interested in wx-widgets. It all depends on what exactly you want/need to do though.

Ya, I was looking to download the compiler and it just looked to complicated. I'm really not loooking to write anything complex, ill give that devcpp a look.

Code::Blocks is the new hip IDE and comes with MinGW if you want.

Thank you, I'm sure I'll need a mingw IDE in the coming months. bookmarked [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
