Any good compilers
 

I'm about to start making a server (I'm so bored and school doesn't start for another week) so I think I'm bored enough to do something useful... But I need a compiler, any ideas on a good one? I probably already have one but I wouldn't know because I never check on that stuff.

If you use windows, its $1000, if you use linux its....free. search back in the forums there have been many many many threadys discussing this subject in the last month or so.

devc++ is free for windows.

But please note, only GCC/and Microsoft C are supported.

AAhh, the only "supported" compiles cost an arm and a leg :oops:

so if they use anything else there on there own. got it :lol:

For best result, i reccomend Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Proefssional 2003. it is quite expensive unless your job has licenses for it.

on the microsoft website microsoft theres a demo for some 2003 server(demos only 2 hours and the server is crappy so it wouldn't be good for emu) it has Microsoft Visual Studio.NET Proefssional 2003 on it so you could download the source onto the server microsoft made for you, edit some things you want to change(only if you know what your doing!) and then compile and send youself the compiled files.

Look for C++programming books that contain MSVC++6 (or 7/net) introductory edition. It is a full copy of the compiler, with 1 differance. It adds a popup window to the start of the program, requiring you to click ok before it will run.

Should work fo r all those wanting to play with the code, but not for anyone wanting to run an un attended server.
