Which compiler do you use?

**Comreak** · Jan 27th, 2003, 07:50 PM

Which compiler and IDE (if applicable) do you use for c++? It doesn't matter which OS it runs on. This thread for the newbies who are unsure of where they should start. I use minGW as my compiler and Dev-C++ as my IDE.

**Zaei** · Jan 27th, 2003, 07:57 PM

MSVC6 in windows, gcc 2.95/3.0 and emacs in lunix.

MSVC7 in Windows, gcc in my not-yet-existent Linux.

**The Hobo** · Jan 28th, 2003, 11:54 AM

I use Borland and EditPlus at home and MSVC6 at school.

**john tindell** · Jan 28th, 2003, 12:09 PM

MSVC 7 and i dont have linux

**parksie** · Jan 28th, 2003, 12:19 PM

GCC 3.2 in GNU/Linux, GCC 2.95.3 in OpenBSD, GCC 3.0.1 on Solaris, and Sun Workshop 6 on Solaris

GCC 2.95 as Dev-C++ on WinXP at home
VC++ 6 at work

Is Sun Workshop 6 a C/C++ compiler/IDE?

Anyway, I use VC6, and Dev C++ 4 and free BCC 5.5 for console programs.

**parksie** · Jan 28th, 2003, 02:50 PM

Yes. Forte Developer 6 is its marketed name, but it still goes by the name I've always used it as internally (Workshop, back when I was using v4

).

Also used the SGI MIPSpro compiler on their kit as well

Hang on, I'll get a screenshot...

This is a small one I knocked up:

Ok, so not quite so small.

If I could find a lunix IDE that didnt use the stupid I beam as a cursor location indicator, Id use X, but so far, ive been out of luck... I look for the cursor, and think the location indicator is the mouse, or vice versa...

MSVC7 over here

**CornedBee** · Jan 28th, 2003, 08:25 PM

parksie: you use .cc as extension?

I think there are 2 possible reasons why parksie wanted to show us that screenshot. 1st is he genuinely wanted to show us the IDE, 2nd is he wanted to show off that he really got a huge monitor!

Jokes aside, back to the topic.

I had bought an old book for $5 and its CD contains GCC 2.9.5(I know it is outdated) Maybe I will try setting up GCC in Windows myself.

I want to try out Linux one of these days. Maybe I will buy Mandrake Linux 9.0 to help Mandrake since it is in financial difficulties. But I don't think I can afford Kylix 3.

**Sastraxi** · Jan 28th, 2003, 09:34 PM

Calm down, calm down.. it's only 1600x1200. My 17" Optiquest V75 can do it, and my new 19" Philips can do it. Are most people still on 17"?

Anyway... I use MingW on Windows (via. Dev C++, but will be using MSVC++7 when I get the rest of my new comp), and GCC 3.2 on *nix, sometimes netcc or whatever it's called if I have a couple of *nix comps networked...

**The Hobo** · Jan 28th, 2003, 10:54 PM

I wasn't even

ing about the picture or anything. It was the sentence. Throw your mind in the gutter as mine always is. That's what I was

ing about.

Sheesh.

It's the default for SunWS (at least in C++ mode).

transcendental: GCC 2.95.3 is still the latest version that a lot of people will use for C, since later versions seem have problems with certain code (like bits of Linux itself).
