    Where can I get free C/C++ compiler for Windows?

    Can you tell me where from I can get a free C/C++ compiler which will compile on Windows/DOS?

    It must be very small so that it can be downloaded easily at anytime.

    I have searched over net - but those found either runs on Unix or too large (>5 MB).

    Thanks in advance.

    Borland's command line compiler ( www.borland.com I think).

    I don't think you'll find a windows compiler that small. The compiler might be, but the include and library files are very large. The include files of windows alone take up 30 MB (uncompressed, they can be compressed very well).

    Borland's is shocking at C++ though.

    For C++, the only ones I've found so far that were any good are Visual C++ 7 and GCC 3 (latest is 3.2 I think).

    In order to use gcc on windows you'll have to use cygwin though.
