Thread: C Compiler for Windows 8/8.1 ??

Hello there. I am running Windows 8.1 - 64 bit on my PC. I had Windows 7 - 32 bit before and last day I installed Windows 8.1. I was using "Turbo C++ for Windows 7 and Windows 8"

( Turbo C++ for Windows 8 and Windows 7 Free Download | Muhammad Niaz )

It was working fine in Windows 7. I used to write code in Notepad++ and then compile using it. But in Windows 8.1, I am having 2 problems with it. 1st is when I open this compiler, the mouse pointer doesn't work fine. 2nd problem is when I somehow compiles my program, I got this error:


Please Tell me any compiler compatible with my OS and which is also easy-to-use. Thanks

Thanks a lot! I am going to try it

Hi
I use a Win8 desktop PC with MinGW installed and I mainly use Geany4Windows to edit and compile my C programs (there are many other C compilers for Windows eg PellesC/ LCC/TDM/TinyC, as well as MSVisualStudio, and more and they are all alright but MinGW and Geany4Windows do well as a basic set up for me). So you might want to try MinGW & Geany4Windows. They are both free and easy to install (google for their websites and follow their instructions. MinGW uses GCC and the path to gcc.exe needs to be in Windows path to use GCC in windows command/terminal prompt. This is either done automatically or is easy to do manually..it is a while since I installed them and I have forgotten if installing MinGW does this automatically or not, but it wasn't hard to do! Instructions are on MinGW website.).

I hope this helps and goodluck with C programming on Windows (a bit more troublesome than on Linux or Mac both of which include C compilers as standard I believe).
