Wanted - User friendly C++ Compiler

[DarkorbitUser123]

I downloaded C++ recently, read alot of code, looked into some new stuff, trying to take a new direction, however im unfirmilar with compiling C++.

Also any good Java Compilers would be helpful too.

I use Win7, 64bit OS, im hoping you guys can list a few good compilers so i can look into them & test them out. Thank you.

Eclipse..you can use it for both..c/c++ and java.

I handle my java stuff with eclipse and c++ by using codeblocks..im just to lazy to add c++ into eclipse.

Neither Eclipse nor Code::Blocks are Compilers. These things are called IDE.


@TE:
I don't know how userfriendly those compilers are (since I'm using an IDE, which is doing this kind of work for me), but here is a list:







Personally I would recommend Microsofts Compiler in addition to Visual Studio. Both, the IDE and the Compiler are badass and extremly userfriendly. However, it does not support all C++11 features (See ). So if that's of importance for you, you might want to choose a different option.

About Java: Well, are there any other compilers than javac? I have no idea, sorry.

I already had Eclipse & GCC before i made this post.

I use Visual Studio 10, call me a dummy for not finding the compiler to go with it. I thought i downloaded the full version, i do with most things cause im one of those people who likes to use or test or have available all possible options if needed.

Thanks for the suggests i gotta look into them. And Java does got a few compilers but i dont consider that many user friendly, it makes me feel like i rather work with java in a linux build, i got VMware on my computer so not an issue i just hate using 2 different Operating systems.

Yeah, Visual Studio is doing all the work with the compiler for you. However, if you want to do it yourself, you can find cl.exe (the compiler) here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX.X\VC\bin\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX.X\VC\bin\amd64\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX.X\VC\bin\arm\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX.X\VC\bin\x86_amd64\
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio XX.X\VC\bin\x86_arm\

Depending on what platform you want to use.
Compiler Options are documented at the msdn:

Ahh..just read about java and c++..my fault...

Just had a quick look into my settings..using mingw.
