Does anyone know a good free compiler that would work online or on a chromebook?
I need to find this so I can continue working even when I'm on my Chromebook.
Thanks!
I feel like you made a thread for this about a month ago and we told you ideone.com, cpp.sh, coliru.stacked-crooked.com, and compileonline.com. There are several others out there as well.
It may have been someone else though I don't remember.
Check out http://www.koding.com provides you with a pretty good text editor and your own online VM with root access. Supports pretty much any language out there (Including C++) and allows you to download libraries you may need to the VM.
if you don't want to have to work online, want to have a full featured ide like code::blocks, and the ability to install other packages you could also of course use crouton to run Ubuntu or some other linux distro on top of chrome os, and do all your development on top of that: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-run-both-chrome-os-and-ubuntu-on-a-chromebook/
I went to best buy and bought a dinky little netbook for $250.00. It has 500Gb disk space, and a darn good processor if all you need it for is working (I run Arch Linux, so it runs pretty smooth). I don't see why you would buy a computer that doesn't even have an operating system on it when there are perfectly capable alternatives in the same price range.
