Does such a thing like a standalone compiler for c++ exist?
I'm relatively new to programming, and I've been hitting a few walls trying to get IDEs to work.
Any help you be really awesome.
I've got a windows 7 system and an outdated Linux mint laptop, I think it's 15.
- Tomte 10y agogcc, clang, Open Watcom, many more.
- rocketmaster 10y agoCool, is there a list somewhere?
- soulbadguy 10y agohttps://isocpp.org/get-started https://isocpp.org/get-started is a list of some C++ compiler. I would still stick to either g++ or clang++ on linux, and visual studio on windows.
- ahoka 10y agoOpen Watcom is ancient, don't recommended it to newcomers.
- malux85 10y agoHave you tried CLion? I know you're not asking for an IDE, but CLion comes bundled with its own compiler, and theres basically zero setup required. If you're still getting stuck, and would like some help, email me (my email is in my profile) I would be happy to jump on a skype screen-share with you, and help you get setup.
- vram22 10y agoThe 5.5 version of the Borland C++ compiler was free for quite a while (after they went on to higher versions). Not sure of current status. A web search may find it. I've built (as in compiled from source, I don't mean written, in this case) some products that had BCC as a compiler that could be used, instead of VC++. E.g. wxPython, IIRC. Edit: A google search for "free borland c++ compiler" shows some hits. Need to check them out.
- ahoka 10y agoBorland C++ is long obsolete.
- ahoka 10y agoYour options are clang, gcc and visual studio; these are modern (supporting latest standards) and maintained. For windows, visual studio community is a no-brainer.
- rocketmaster 10y agoHey man, thanks for the solid advice.
