Free C++ Editors/Compliers/Debuggers

**haxxorpoop** · March 7th, 2005, 07:26 PM

Hi. I'm a student whose writing a computing competition tomorrow, and was just wondering if there are any free C++ compliers you guys reccomend. I've used Bloodshed Dev C++, but recently my <iostream> doesnt work, and it wont let me use <iostream.h>, which is obviously a problem. I havent really heard of any other good compliers, so I'm hoping you guys can help me out.

Thanks!

If you're going to be doing the programming on a Linux system, just use built-in compilers like gcc. There is a C++ compiler most linux systems have installed too, though I can't remember its name at the moment.

Do a search on MinGW. It's a C C++ compiler / IDE. It doesn't have lots of the pretties of the bought ones but it does work.

Bloodshead.

Do a google search for Dev C++. Great, free, and open source.

dang, sorry i didnt finish the whole post

have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it making sure it deletes all of the library files?

**haxxorpoop** · March 10th, 2005, 09:57 PM

^ Yea. It's really quite annoying.

#include <iostream.h>

Dev-C++: I dont like you, so I'm gonna put an error at your include statement, and make your program not run.

DAMN YOU!!

I recommend arachnophilia. it's a java proggy that does c, c++, java, perl, and a bunch of other stuff. just google it. I love it

Try #include <iostream>.

That's what I have to do for VC++ 6.0.

for my version of dev c++ this is what i always have to do for almost ALL OF MY PROG. or it gives me a similar error
#include<header file>
using namespace std; //HERE IS WHAT IM CONFUSED ABOUT!
void main()

or w/e try that and see if it helps

I would either go with visual c++, borland or bloodshed.

You can get Visual C++ Express for free here.

**haxxorpoop** · March 12th, 2005, 03:10 PM

Oooo....

Again, can you people PLEASE stop reccomending Bloodshed?

VC++ Express eh'? I'll try that out

I believe if you're using

"#include <iostream> //notice the lack of .h" you have to use namespace std.
