Good day good people of NL,i recently formated my pc which lead to the removal of my c/cpp compiler(codeBlocks 10.05),i fotgot to copy out the setup before formatting my pc..so my request is i need some links to downloading another compiler with a size of about 30 to 40mb and dat will run on a windows7 platform,because the compilers i have been stumbling upon haz got a great deal of mb to contend with...ill be obliged if my request is granted....api sunday 2 ya'll

I use dev c++ just about 14mb

I was ignorant of this myself a couple of years back. Dev C++, Eclipse CDT and JDT, Net beans, MS VS, Free C, geany etc etc, are NOT compilers. They are IDEs. IDE == text editor + compiler + debugger + etc etc.

GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), Cygwin, Mingw, g++ are compilers. Its easy to mix it up. Reminds me of the arguments on what roles gcc and g++ play. A lot things going on under the hood. GCC invokes g++ for c++ compiles and gcc for C compiles. Face palms. Let's keep it simple guys!

bro i just downloaded version 4.9.9.1(8.9mb)..@ ist i typed ,debuged,compiled and ran my program, the dark console output waz just disappearing on appearance, ie(i kudnt av a proper view of the output)...i later decided 2 uninstall it and re-install again,and did d same thing ,but dis tym,on compiling my codes my antivirus gave me an alert dat a malware haz being suspected so my compiling process could no longer be completed....so what do u think kud b d probs? Coz i just uninstalled it again....kud u hlp me wif anoda link..i tried downloading codeblocks bt all my efforts nipped in d bud....
Any1 else can also drop a link or 2 4me....thanks
yep d link wnt be neccessary anymor coz i just got d drill 2 using dev-c++ IDE..heres d drill:

//a c++ doc 2 print a ststs
#include <iostream>
using namespace std:
int main()
{
cout<<"hello wrld!"<<endl;

system("PAUSE";
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

// a C doc
#include <stdio.h>
int main();
{
printf("hello wrld!";

system("PAUSE";
return 0;
}

d problem i had wz dat id been using "return 0;" only...so folks use d last command line if u want ur code 2 run in dev-cpp IDE..it hlps 2 capture ur output wen displayed 2d screen.*i rest my case!*

There are three other solutions to that dev c++ peculiar IDE glitch. 1. being the easiest.

1. Stick an infinite loop to the end of your main(), I'll recommend a while(1);

Example:

#include<studio.h>

int main()
{
printf("Hello World!\n";
while(1);
}

2. Similar to 1., stick a getchar() before the return 0

3. Run your code from cmd. Run cmd and cd to your code's directory like you'd do on Linux, use dir in place of ls to view files in a directory.

Hmmm, I know abt that problem, but I actually dnt av the problem wiv my own dev c++ ... it displays my program just fine til I hit the enter key,

Glad yu figured a way to go around it

olu_kenzo: GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), Cygwin, Mingw, g++ are compilers.

They're not. GCC is a compiler system - Africa is not a country, is it? Cygwin is a runtime environment for POSIX apps. MinGW is a development environment of programming tools.

olu_kenzo: Its easy to mix it up.

Yes, just like you did

olu_kenzo: Reminds me of the arguments on what roles gcc and g++ play.

Reminds me of those of the differences between cc, cpp and gcc too.

olu_kenzo: A lot things going on under the hood.

Actually, a few. Unless you're coming from a .NET playground.

olu_kenzo: GCC invokes g++ for c++ compiles and gcc for C compiles.

gcc (the binary), not GCC (the system), does invocations for compilations.

olu_kenzo: Face palms.

Sure.

olu_kenzo: Let's keep it simple guys!

Certainly saves us all time.
