Looking for good C++ compiler

Post by s.dot »

Im looking to learn C++ and I'm having troubles finding a good free one. I've found plenty of command line compilers, but I want something with a GUI.

Any suggestions?

VC++ is an IDE. There is, as far as I know, no such thing as a GUI compilier because all compiliers do is compile, link and build. Hardly need a GUI just for that and most times you can get away without specifing more than the essetial paramaters. Most IDEs come with a compilier so it is as if there is a dedicated GUI, but it is just things you set in the IDE that change how the IDE interacts with the compilier.

What you want to do is a google search for C++ IDE. Personally I recommend bloodshed for windows and the KDE IDE for linux.
