Thread: C Editor & Compiler all-in-one?

Hi, sorry if this isnt related to any coding...
Im just looking for a program (preferably a freeware) that would act as an editor and would also provide compile and run features. At the moment im using EditPlus for coding, which is great, but to compile it i have to run command prompt, find where the file is located, tell my compiler (Borland) its address and only then compile and run it.
I have this Dev-C++ software, which seems to have all the features i want, but when it catches errors while compiling it doesnt describe them well enough...
Any suggestions are much appreciated

have the same problem with dev c++ .... most of the time it only takes a few minutes to figure out what the error is meow .... sometimes longer. I would say that is the down side of dev c++.

One thing borland once gave was a WYSIYG dialog editor with a nice gui. But it did not really contain everything needed for win api progs.

I've never used the first two, but I use VC++ 2005 at work (and the free express version at home) and debugging is simple. If you get a compile error, press F6 and it takes you right to the line where the error is. If you don't know what the error means, it always has a code like "C4329" at the beginning, so if you do a search for that code on google, you'll find plenty of info about it.

Thanx. Will check it out

Hi Folks,

Check this site
http://www.objectcentral.com/

You will find VIDE, an editor (IDE) for C, C++

The site explains on how to install and configure the same for Borland C (which I am currently using).

Cheers
