I'm looking for a good, free C++ compiler to work with. Any suggestions?

There's also Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition -- I use it for StarDreamer and it's quite good (except the lack of a debugger).

http://www.microsoft.com/express/

Duh, I never thought I'd be bringing up a microsoft link in a positive sense -_-

Myself I was always fond of Dev-C++/wxDev-C++ for some reason.

Thanks for the help. I've since been using Bloodshed Dev-C++, which has been very comfortable.

I'm now working on studying, and then altering, Stone Soup as a learning experience, however long that may take... Wish me luck :)

Dev-C++ is a very easy compiler to set up, that's what I like about it.

Dev-C++ is not a compiler, it's GCC with a GUI.

Actually if we want to be pedantic -- Dev-C++ is a JUST a GUI for any GCC-based compiler (usualy MinGW)

Speaking of IDE, IMHO, nothing beats CodeBlocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/), but be sure to grab one of the nightly builds (RC is REALLY outdated).

Though I'm afraid it's too late to recommend anything new :).
