C++ & Vista

[khalilov 0]

I tried to install C++ 4.5 on vista but it said its not compatable with it, does this apply to all the other versions of C++ (5 in particular cuz thats what iam gona get).

What are you talking about C++ 4.5? Are you talking about Borland?

for programming I just use the GNU C/C++ Tools like g++ and gcc.xboxrulz

Yes its borland, i have a project >.<, looks like iam gona have to borow a computer or so cuz formating isn't an option.

is that the same syntax and functions as borland?

[Quatrux 4]

I think yes, the syntax is the "same". So why don't you use Eclipse? on Windows, I think it's using GCC, even though can't remember..

http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

Also you can use Dev C++, I stopped using it as it started to be buggy and I think it was updated some time ago, as if the project is abandoned, but you can still use it: http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

and you can use Visual Studio 2008 on Windows too, but it has a little bit different syntax in some situations then programming C/C++ if moving from Borland.. Usually code written for GCC works on Visual Studio, the opposite doesn't work in some situations of coding style.

It's not only the coding style that differs in Visual C++, Microsoft has added it's own set of functions and global variables which aren't available in gcc and other compilers. I also suggest getting Eclipse, it's bit tough to begin with, but once you know it you have an up to date SDK to work with

hi,

you can use code::blocks, free, open source, very popular and multi platform.
