Hi,
For writing Windows C++ applications I usually stick to these 3 compilers:
- Visual Studio
- Borland CodeGears
- Eclipse CDT + MinGW compiler.
These are kept up to date and provide a nice IDE to develop in, aswell as a large community to fall back to in case of support.
I'm not reall sure if the Eclipse IDE comes with a default C++ compiler. I've always used the MinGW compiler and adjusted Eclipse to run that compiler. I'm guessing they have a Java based local compiler in it, but I might be wrong. -
Eclipse doesn't come with a compiler it assumes you have installed gcc (Linux) or MinGW (Windows).
If Eclipse is a bit daunting (and it can be) then another lighter weight multi-platform IDE that uses MinGW/gcc is Code:Blocks
I would avoid Dev-C++ now as I believe it is no longer maintained.Comment
