| In the first place we recommend the Open Source
GNU C/C++ Compiler (GCC). It is supplied with many Linux distributions. Of
course, you can download it from the net. See http://gcc.gnu.org
. But that is laborious. Better
get it on CD. A general source concerning this compiler is www.cygnus.com. An IDE for the GNU-
Compiler is KDevelop. | ||
| There shall exist an Open Source C/C++
compiler for Unix-like systems named TenDRA which was developed by
the UK Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA). But like often with
such agencies: It was not possible for me to perform a
download.
Maybe you get it from an unofficial site ( http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~patrrykz/TenDRA ). PS: Thilo Gaul kindly informed me that one may get the package from www.andf.org . |
| bcc32 | - the free version 5.5 of the Borland
C++ Compiler, absolutely a highlight. You can get it at www.borland.com. (You have to register and get a free
membership.) Without registration this Compiler can possibly be received
via ftp. (That's not the C++ Builder!
Version 1.0 of the Builder is on the CD accompanying the book "C++
für Kids" by H. G. Schumann.) | |||
