Does anybody know the websites where I can download free c/c++ compilers.

I used to write c programs but I am going out of practice.

I want to get back to thr C spirit again but the commercial compilers are so espensive.

Any free download sites on the net?

Try: The Gnu GCC compiler suite, available for many different platforms.

There's something my partner checks out from time to time... http://perl.org or something remotely like that...they send out a digest which if you scroll through it can have some reasonable ideas..

Borland do a free one. You need to register though

I think the best free compiler is Dev c http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html

unless you need to work with Borland libraries that are not portable I would then say download the free Borland but that does not come with an editor

Thanks citahellion, I will check the gnu site.

And also thanks to you AR-15, I will check the Dev C too.

But how do I use the free Borland without the editor?

i believe you can get a free microsoft c/c++ compiler & linker (the ones included with visual studio .NET 2003 pro) in return for reviewing some tutorial clips at their site

Anyone here developing really useful software with C/C++?

That watcom link brings back memories. Remember when there was actually a reason to use something besides Visual Studio? Borland produced the smallest code; WATCOM produced the fastest code; Visual C failed to correctly compile solid standard C++ - not that fancy templace stuff, but normal C++ code you'd write in an introduction to C++ class. Ahh, those were the days.

I'm doing some useful, but completely uninteresting, I/O programming
