Could anyone please give me a link to a good C++ compiler, i bought a book not to long ago, as i was going to start programming in C++, but never actually got around to starting, So any little links would be helpfull.. No point letting a good book go to waste!! May as well get use out of it.
Thanks all!

If you're using Windows, Dev-C++ is excellent. If you're using a Unix-based OS such as Linux or even Mac OS X, you already have one - type man gcc at the command line for more info.

No.
Well k Dev-C++ is recommended by many, I would use the VS 2005 beta edition though.

Ok Dev-C++, downloaded the exe setup prog, went to run! And it's telling me it's either corrupt or harmfull!! And telling me i can run it by using the /NCRC line.. Now this would be fine, if only i knew wtf that was

I feel so dumb!! lol
I have d/l it 3 times now!!

Good to hear it. Enjoy.

If you can afford to blow money, get VS 2003. It's the best C++ IDE I've ever used, coupled with the best compiler I've ever used.

EDIT: Out of curiosity what book do you have?

C++ without fear Brian Overland..

I had one by SAM or something another, but that's dissapeared, that was �40...
This Dev-C++ is all well and good, but how can i see my output?? lol

(Toggle Plain Text)

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
int main() {
cout << "Hello World";
return 0;
}

compile it then run it, and i can't even see it, it closes so fast!! lol

    cout << "Hello World";
    cin.get();
    return 0;
