I was wondering what would the best free IDE for C++ programming would be? I'm thinking Dev C++, but can I still do directX programming on it? any downfalls to this program? Any other recommendations? Thanks!

Yeah, it's tough to get it to work the way you want. My recent attempts were frustrating, and I abandoned it.Quote:
any downfalls to this program?
Emacs with a makefile
I'm fond of xcode, nice coding GUI, comes free on mac osX along with gcc, gdb, gmake, ddd, etc. Though I think you'd have little trouble with the directX libraries ;-}
Only using Dev C++ for a few days now, for a Windows project. Not as powerful as M'soft Vcc (think they call it .NET developer or something like now), but Dev C++ is way less annoying. Not sure why 7stud abandoned it, seems pretty capable and sturdy.
Crimson Editor and a makefile for me. I must admit I've never gotten use to an IDE. But if I had a choice, the Visual Studio IDE is my favorite. ;)Quote:

Download it while it lasts.

Really great for DirectX programming... :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:Quote:

Code::Blocks with Microsofts 2005 compiler
So can these compilers compile and create executables from multiple source code files (all from the same project.)? I think I'll try some free microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Sorry, but I'm kind of new to this programming thing.
I downloaded Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003. From the looks of it, it's a command prompt compiler. Any good tutorials for this? Thanks!
why not just get the free Visual C++ 2005 IDE?Quote:

Check out Eclipse. It is cross-platform, OSS and has plugins for loads of different languages. It seems pretty good.
