What is a cheap (preferably free) C++ compiler?

Grey_Havoc · 2003-03-18T19:55:11

I bought the book "Programming Role Playing Games with DirectX" (very good, btw) and I''ve read most of it, but I don''t have a C++ compiler so I can''t program. Does anyone know where I can find a very inexpensive or free program for C++? Even if it is non-commercial only.

Check out www.digitalmars.com. It''s a good compiler for $20 (last time I checked).

if you want to add to your library, Tips and Tricks of the Game Programming Gurus 2nd edition comes with a copy of Visual C++ Introductory version.

you can''t distribute the exe, but you can still learn. and you can distribute the project info and have someone else make a executable build for you.
