medap, select register product from Help menu, then follow instructions, u will need to enter e-mail address. and then reply to the mail which u receive later. crevars, but i didnt see any new "C project" when opened projects... only win32..etc., and something else... how must i create C program there? just save it with .c file extension?
 

Re: Best FREE C compiler

Create a Win32 console application, chose "empty project" and then progam in C style. You can always program in C with a C++ compiler. Even though your files are *.cpp it's ok.

If you want to use Win32 API (and programming in C...) you have to configure VC++ express in the right way. Take a look here:

Re: Best FREE C compiler

you can use codeblocks ide its free
and add any of the multitude of free c and c++ compiler
provided it support it

look on there site www.codeblocks.org and visit there forum for a nightly build
as there main build is old
its easy to use and works perfectly well for most stuff
ive used it for sdcc and visual c++ free compilers
intel compilers and mingw

all the stuff ive built in them like comvdd etc works well

"Netbeans" and "Eclipse" are good alternative ,especially if you want in multiplatform!
 

Re: Best FREE C compiler

You can try gcc using cygwin
 

Re: Best FREE C compiler

I would like to suggest you the usage of C/C++ compilers from Borland. They use to be better than the MS ones.


Best regards
 

Re: Best FREE C compiler

Please take no offence, but why on Earth do you want to put yourself to the torture of Windows XP programming in C ?!?!?!
If this is for a real project with complex data and user interfacing you are really in!
