I've not used Borland's C++ Builder but anything compiled for Windows 98 will work in Windows XP as long as it is Win32 based.

I'm using VC++, works swell. I had problems with DevCpp though.

Quoting Sandman: I'm using VC++, works swell. I had problems with DevCpp though. Elaborate! It's no good telling the man you had 'problems'. I use mingw and am tryign to figure out MYSYS. So I don't use IDEs. Dev-cpp is find however some weird shit happens when you are trying to include resources and compile win32 programs. Like the resources can't be found. In reality they are all good, I'd probabely go with Borland out of sentimentality if I was pushed. ____________ I see 57,005 people. |

DEV C++ is the only one I've used. Seems fine to me. Does anyone know if it works with OpenGL or DirectX?

Run the package installer thingy and get the direct X package. Then read my post on here about it.

Quoting Sandman: I'm using VC++, works swell. I had problems with DevCpp though. How did you get VC++ to work with win32 apps? Enterprise Edition (the free one) only supports .NET. Ive downloaded the SDK and done all the config stuff i found on a tutorial video by microsoft, but it still doesnt have windows.h or anything. In the meantime im using DevC++ which (although actually compiling windows apps) it pretty shoddy in my opinion, especially the text editor. ____________ |

I've just started using Code::Blocks, it's a very stable IDE, and it's cross-platform. Unfortunately i dont think it works with Visual C++. http://www.codeblocks.org/ Puniks i suggest you should look around for what suits you best. what are you guys hoping to program? ____________ |

Sqaure why would it work with Visual C++? That is like saying notepad doesn't work with wordpad. Also how long have you ben using it?

Not long at all, in fact i've only just set it up. Though i'm confused by most C++ i want to get past my beginner phase. Someone recommended me Code::Blocks, and i also want to use Allegro game programming library to make some kind of 2d game. I was even thinking about rewriting Hero: The Realm (!) as i basically have a full set of game graphics for it. (Maybe redraw them in a better resolution though!) Anyway i need something to do over the summer, and learning a bit of C++ would be quite useful. ____________ |

On Linux, I use just use Kate and gcc manually (though for bigger projects, I use a Make file so I don't kill myself ;)) On Windows, it's Code::Blocks, though it used to be DevCPP ____________ |

I've used gcc and VI editor (you have Notepad++ and Notepad; VI editor would be something like Notepad--) to make the C file

For Windows you could also use MingW with the MingW Developer Studio. If you ever used Crimson Editor and liked that one, you'll like this one as well I guess.
