I've been using the turbo c compiler for DOS so far... It looks to be version 2.01.... oy from 1988!! sheesh
Nearly any compiler will do. Any 32bit compiler should be fine. It all depends on what you mean by "best compiler". Most of the time, if you're buying a compiler, you really aren't actually "buying a compiler". Rather, you're buying a package of tools that come with a compiler. Debuggers, IDE, etc etc.
You also don't say what OS you are running on. If you require Windows, there are many options. If you're running a unix or linux variety, the chances are you already have a compiler on your computer.
In Windows, I prefer MSVC++ for it's handy IDE and the MSDN. In Linux, GCC is just fine.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
I don't know what is the best C compiler, if there is any. I'm using GCC a lot and it fits my needs.
GCC rules!!!
It's unfulfilled dreams that keep you alive.

I use dev-c++ its has a good IDE and a nice compiler (Cygwin is the compiler) and the best part its for free...You can download it from http://www.bloodshed.net
DJGPP is also good use rhide as its IDE and the compiler used for it is gcc which is famouse among unix programmers.And yeah if u like graphics give allegro a try which u can download when from DJGPP wed site.....You can download the compiler from http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/
but i recommend dev-c++ ..

When all else fails, read the instructions.
If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]
DJGPP using TextPad as the IDE.
DJGPP with RHIDE as the IDE works great too (what's textpad like?)
gcc has many, many tools for my disposal. it's practically the center of the open source movement, and therefore receives the attention, and bug-fixing, that that position warrants.
i'm not saying other compilers are worse. i think mvc++ and borland produce smaller executables. when you get to the meat of it all, all compilers are equal, give or take a flush(stdin) here, and a few extra bytes there.
gcc for Linux, MSVC++ for Windows... both are excellent... but MSVC++ far outweights gcc because of the IDE, I feel.

gcc isn't meant to be an enviornment, it's just a compiler. you're doing the whole apples-oranges thing.Originally posted by ober5861

hello, internet!
MSVC++ is not a C compiler, it is a C++ compiler. The best C compiler that I know of is gcc. If you want an IDE for gcc that resembles the MSVC++ IDE than use KDevelop 2.1. These tools are part of the Linux installation.

Not Standard C, but anyway lets not make a big deal out of this.Originally posted by moi
