C compilers

This is newbie of me but I just want some opinions. I've searched for a compiler but I feel overwhelmed and confused on what's the best to use.

So.. my question is; What in your opinion is a good compiler to use for fooling around in C?

In what sense? For just simple tutorial-example type coding?

My favourite IDE when I was a munchkin was Borland's TurboC...  http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,20841,00.html ... 1.1MB download; I don't know if it still works on today's Windows, though. Type in a simple C program (with none of that ~400 lines of OO/GUI bullshit!), Compile&Run, have warm fuzzies at actually getting a program to work...

Yeah, I'd use it just for tutorials and examples in my text books.

I don't think I'll be doing any complex programming anytime soon. Just things to teach me more about the language and practice my knowledge.

GCC / DevC++

If you're working with Windoze, try Bloodshed.  ttp://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

Yes, I'd go with Dev-C++ (if you are on the Windows platform), which can be used for regular C programming aswell, and it's open source aswell. On *NIX I use nano for any of my coding.

if("IDE" != "compiler") poster.intelligence--;

Use gcc and feed it code through stdin. Text editors are for wimps.

you're space bar appears to be broken, just FYI.

You use gcc?  Wuss.  Real mean write microcode.

Real men hook up a power supply to the CPU's pins and input machine code by hand-varying the voltage.

real men generate electricity by fappage

Vin Diesel once tried his hand at programming, but the resulting program became intelligent and tried to take over the internet. Vin had to enter the internet in digitised form to put a stop to the terror. Since then he has made it his mission to destroy all programmers.

tcc ftw

that's strange.  nobody mentioned djgpp [http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/]

check it

You got that wrong, lol; you.fail();

- If you want something simple, then you might want to use an old Borland C/C++ with IDE for MS-DOS. Recommended to learn C.

- If you want to do it all by hand and in a portable way, you can use MinGW or Cygwin GCC for Windows and GCC for Linu. Get a good editor (Windows: UltraEdit (commercial), PSPad Pro (free) for example. Linux: Kate (free), for example. Sorry, few to no good text-mode editor exist for Win32 and Linux (if Anonymous knows of something, please post (refrain from suggesting vi or emacs))).

- If you want a command line compiler, but simpler, you can try LCC-win32.

- If you want a modern IDE to write serious applications and to learn, try Dev-C++.

- Finally, if you're in for commercial compilers, want an IDE, a horde of applications and wizards you need a book to learn to use, and best Win32 integration (easy bloatware writing too), try Visual C++ (Visual Studio). BTW, don't compile for .NET, pseudocode, managed code, or whatever they want to call it, that's pure bullshit, compile for real.

>>17 is obviously a Lisper.

Lol

I just want more than 2 levels of emphasis for my text. In fact, I request that people starts writing with a dozen levels of nested parenthesis, so you can use parenthesis folding tools and read as much of it as you want, while being able to expand the parts you're most interested with.

No.

>>16 That's because DJGPP is really weird to set up properly (particularly in an NT/2000/XP install). It's certainly a good choice if you're running DOS (or windows 9x); but most people aren't these days.

IMHO, if you're running windows and want to go the gcc route; cygwin is the best way to go.

>>21 i never had a problem installing it on Win 2k or XP (not that should mean anything, just saying).  All that was necessary was to unzip the files into a directory and then add/change two  System Environment Variables (much the same as $PATH on un*x).  i guess i've been using djgpp since i had Win95 and there wasn't much reason for changing.  though i haven't tried cygwin (i have linux on another parition) i could see how that would work pretty niftily.

>>22 Last time I tried it under windows, I had weird problems with long file names; IMHO it's better to go with cygwin where you don't have to deal with it.

Probably because you got the wrong packages.

The DOS version only recognized 8.3 filenames. You need the windows one.

WELCOME TO THE PAST BITCHES. FUCKING BUMP.

 hi every im new!!!!!!! *holds up spork()* my name is _^katy but u can call me t3h C_u^D_d^Er oF d00m!!!!!!!! lol...as u can see im very ^EXPERT!!!!  thats why i came here, 2 meet EXPERT PROGRAMMERS like me ^_^... i like 2 ^read _SICP w/ my girlfreind (im bi if u dont like it deal w/it) its our
 favorite book!!! bcuz its SOOOO EXPERT!!!! shes EXPERT 2 of course but  i want 2 meet more EXPERT PROGRAMMERS =) like they say the more the merrier!!!!

you shouldn't have made any mistakes, i posted the source for this on the proggit pastebin

Are the same thing   in his position   and give up   on it a   code snippet a   recommendation a reference   to some object   by a reference   to a new   dialect of Lisp   and Haskell Lame.
