Compilers

[Coolguy]

Anybody know where to get a good simple free C++ compiler on the internet?

There's Cygwin at http://www.cygwin.com/ -- it's not just a compiler, it's a sort of linuxoid command-line environment for windows, but it comes with the whole GCC compiler suite. Not entirely simple, but free. I managed to compile the windows version of angband without using the cygwin support dll with it at one point.

DJGPP ( http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ ) is a similar idea, but older, and based on DOS. I was seriously looking into it back when programming DOS stuff was actually viable for me.

There was also an IDE that had parts of cyg's compiler built in, as a standalone system, but i can't remember the name of it anymore, and wouldn't know where to look ...

I haven't really looked into compilers much in the past few years because i've just been using python . . . ;).
