Sorry to add yet more options; a vast array of choices isn't always a good thing ;-) I use dev-cpp to compile with gcc under Windows. That said, I've also played a little with lcc and it does look good. Another option I used to use is Vide on top of Borland's free compiler. Just about staying

Right now, I think that we're all interested in seeing support for whatever compilers people are willing to support. So if we have support for both GCC and MSVC++ on Windows, so much the better for the project. geir On Oct 25, 2005, at 10:15 AM, Francisco Andrades Grassi wrote:

Hi Francisco, That's not correct. GCC is Free Software, VC++ 2003 compiler, although a free-of-charge download, is propritary software (you don't have access to the source and can't create derivative works under any circumstance). My comparison of GCC and MSVC was in terms of usage and cost

So we need to at least support gcc. It ain't the best but its ubiquitous. If someone so motivated wants to maintain MSVC compatibility they should be encouraged. No policy is necessary as the first is implied in the project mission. It is obvious however that strictly supporting
