RogueHart Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 what compilers do you have for any and all languages you know. just post them here. im looking for a new c++ IDE. i had the borland C++builderx but apparently the cd can no longer install the full version (sams teach yourself c++ in 24 hours. bought a long time ago. 4th edition) and for blitz basic i've got blitz 3d. and thats all for now.

digip Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 mingw - I do everything in notepad++, but would be nice to have a nice IDE with built in functions to copy and paste code from or name completion sort of stuff. Oh wait, theres Microsofts Visual C++. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeryth Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I use NetBeans for Java [with the official JDK], I haven't used Eclipse, just looked at the GUI and I didn't like it :P For C I use Dev-C++, which is frustrating at times but nice overall. Under linux I use vi and gcc :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh wait, theres Microsofts Visual C++. i use crimson editor for most of my code editing when i dont have an IDE. crimson editor is my favorite because it highlights your code for you. but thats not the good part. besides the predefined languages it has set in it to highlight. you can also create your own for w/e language you want. ive got it setup for WolfET scripting. made life simple. I use NetBeans for Java [with the official JDK], I haven't used Eclipse, just looked at the GUI and I didn't like it :P For C I use Dev-C++, which is frustrating at times but nice overall. Under linux I use vi and gcc :D i used netbeans when i tried java but i decided to stop with java and learn c++ first. i used devC++ for about 20 min and removed it from my hd. i could not stand that thing. far too frustrating. lol. edit now for my c++ ide im going to give code blocks a try. http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/5 digip. it uses the mingw compiler. why not give it a try if your wanting an IDE :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zimmer Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I use notepad++ and Cygwin and gcc. Though I am moving to Linux (grr if only I could stop the live cd sector errors grr) so am about to take Cygwin off that list. Oh and I use the Howstuffworks.com guide for learning C then I'll probably learn another language they have guide on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
still learning Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Notepad++ can compile code to executable files? How, a special plugin? Ive used it like regular notepad to view code and see where errors are but did not know it could compile the source code (i am new to useing it) how is it done? thanks!!

RogueHart Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 well code blocks seems to work well for me. i tried devC++ again but it was a tad frustrating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eman7613 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 +1 to the guy who said codeblocks for c++, i also use netbeans for c++ as well, though both need some polish i think never realy found an editor for c that i really loved :/ @Emeryth vi, but emacs are so superior! j/k :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
