MinGW

I recommend Visual Studio.

On the other hand, if by "free software" you mean "software available at zero price", then the MSVC9 compiler is available for free with Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Express.

Dev-C++, it works. I am now promoting that over lcc-Win32. Also Borland Bcc32 (now v5.5) is good if you are used to an old command line interface and with small plain C/C++ apps.
long time no C; //seige
You miss 100% of the people you don't C;
Code:if (language != LANG_C && language != LANG_CPP) drown(language);
What's wrong with gcc for command-line work? As it comes with Dev-c++ (or Code::Blocks), it is probably the best standards compliant compiler, it has extensive warnings for "bad habits", and generates good code (certainly in comparison to the Borland C I remember - and I don't thin v5.5 is any more recent than the late 1990's, so it must be getting on for 10 years old - and as I've said before, that's probably a good age for Whiskey - compilers do not get better with aging [although I have never tried to keep my old compiler disks in a oak-cask]).

Compilers can produce warnings - make the compiler programmers happy: Use them!
Please don't PM me for help - and no, I don't do help over instant messengers.
Visual Studio is an extensive all-in-one tool that comes with an IDE, compiler, debugger, and much more in one package.
However, again, I would like to remind that the choice isn't ours to make, behzad_shabani, instead, you should try them out and pick the one you find to be the best.
I hate Microsoft
Is there a specific reason or just because it's "fashionable" to hate Microsoft?

Probably doesn't stop him from using Windows.
http://www.codeblocks.org/ There is a package that comes with mingw, and the installation sets up both the free compiler and free IDE.
What annoys me about the microsoft compiler is that it ALWAYS links the standard C++ libraries, even when im not using any of the standard C++ functions. Mingw only links them if you use them, so if i only use the string library, then it will only link the string library, instead of the both the string library and the big iostream library. You can dynamically link them, but then the program wont work on alot of computers.
What annoys me is that people just can't understand that it doesn't matter because the target needs the runtime installed and if you installed the runtime, it doesn't matter if you use C or C++.
Im talking about statically linking the runtime libraries.
If this pc was mine, be sure that I would install Linux or if I had enough money I would buy a iMac
