Any suggestion for a good free IDE for C++ ??

Try Code::Blocks (cross platform) or Visual C++ Express (Windows)

For LINUX see: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/unices/4781/

MS-DOS and Batch files! lolol

I forgot that there is an article on this:
http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/articles/7263/

[S6k9GNh0]

If that's the only article there is then your not looking hard enough. There are more topics, threads, posts, articles, and discussions on this one topic than types of cheeses.

That is the only 'article' on this site about IDEs
( This is a FAQ so there should be more discussions on this than atoms in the Universe )

For downloading Devcpp I visited the following site and found a large number of downloads. Can someone, please, advise as to which one is to be downloaded and installed.

i'm using dev-c++ but i would go codeblocks out of preference. Its a nice look and not discontinued like dev. The only reason i'm not is that i'm running a x64 OS and codeblocks doesn't like me for it lol... not worth the hassle to sort it out for only basic programming at the moment.

I would download the first link on the Dev-C++ page. (5.0 Beta with MinGW/GCC)

one thing with devc++ though is that after the program runs, the IDE closes automagically. if you want to see your results(if you have any) is basically to create a variable and wait for the program to accept your variable before it closes. more or less, it doesn't close until you input a variable of the specified type.

or just use cin.get();

I use MingGW Developer Studio 2.06. This IDE work so well for me that I must recommend it. I had to tries everything from Visual Studio to Borland before. All of which is, for a lack of a better term, fucked up. MDS its doesn't anti-nooblet. :). You just type in your code and press run. hehe. And it doesn't shut down the program either when it end.

[satchmo05]

yeah...borland is probably the WORST IDE i've used, not a fan.. AT ALL!

MingGW Developer Studio its quite simple and 90 Style looking...

I prefer MVC++ and NetBeans :)
