Which Compiler???

[rephlex]

Hi,

I am learning C at the moment and currently I use TurboC (Dos), I was wondering what other compilers were available, the benefits/limitations of each and what you all would recomend

Cheers

For gcc, u might have to install the cygwin tools (which includes GCC).

There is an programming environment I love and the price is excelent: 0$ (It's shareware so they won't say no if you pay the registration)
The name:
Dev Bloodshed C++
This environment is an easy, userfriendly environment that actually uses the GNU GCC compiler and the GNB debugger which were recomended to you and are excelent but by themselves a bit painfull in the behind to use .
With this tool you can write simple C programs but later will also help to create applications with C++.
You can download it (8MB but worth every second online) at

http://www.download.com

or at

http://www.bloodshed.net.

I'm not assosiated with these people, I'm just a very happy user!

Try,

http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/

it's a very good free compiler with a lot of features and complete documentation.
