I still think shipping a compiler makes sense for Windoze. Code::Blocks does have MinGW bundled binary for Windoze: http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries But you know, C::B is bloated and too complicated for noob, anyway.

Unfortunately I'm not this familiar with all > that Windowsstuff at that point .... Actually I don't use IDEs very often and I run Linux and Mac OS X. For various reasons, many uninformed people in my country end up using Visual C++ 6.0 or Turbo C 2.0 to learn C/C++ ... Geany, IMO, is a promising choice of beginner's IDE after I tried Dev-C++ (even new Orwell fork) and Code::Blocks. Sure, it is also good for advanced people. That's my motivation. But it seems that I cannot even Windoze user of Geany here, is it the case? _______________________________________________ Geany mailing list [email protected] https://lists.uvena.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geany
