i found a version of gcc:

Latest gcw.0.0.1 Notes (2001-09-18 21:00)


is there any new version ??

and i cant run it

i have only a
gcw.bat file

i double click it

Um, yes?
http://gcc.gnu.org/

[transgalactic2]

i look for a compiler like eclipse in java

which is free and not too much complicated

[Elysia]

Also, specifically for what OS are you looking for a compiler for?

[transgalactic2]

i get files like tar and gz

which are for linux

[transgalactic2]

i am looking for winXp OS

I think "I'm looking for something like Eclipse for Java" indicates that you are not looking for a compiler, but for an IDE. In which case you may want to just use the C-extension for Eclipse and use gcc-mingw (gcc-mingw is a "Minimal Windows" implementation of gcc), or use Code::Blocks - which, if you pick the right package, comes with gcc-mingw included.

i ment a double click>> place where i can write code menu
and debugger

i dont want object oriented stuff like in java

Well, you're not going to get much object oriented stuff in C. What does that have to do with what program you use to type your code in? (Hint: none.)

IDE stands for "Integrated Developer Environment", which usually means a combination of Editor, Compiler, Debugger and other tools that you need to develop applications. Code::Blocks may say that it is for C++, but it works very well for C as well (or so I've been told, I personally use Visual Studio on my home machine [or for simple stuff, I use Emacs and gcc], and a Eclipse-related C++ environment for embedded cross-development at work).

Visual Studio is a good one.
It's an editor, compiler and debugger in one package.

Visual C++ 2008 Express. works for C. It's free.
