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..

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

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
