Re: C/C++ Compilers

[Bob Pendleton <bobp@pendleton.com>]

Look at http://gameprogrammer.com/links/languages.html it has pointers
to several C/C++ compilers including GNU for windows. You might also
want to look at http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/ which is a
nice C compiler for many machines and OSes including Windows.

Seriously, if your goal is to write Windows C/C++ programs, just buy
Microsofts visual C. You don't have to use the IDE. I use the compiler
and linker with EMACS and make because I really dislike their IDE.

And... Take a look at Java. The latest version of Java, 1.3beta has a
good sound system and the 3D API looks pretty good. MS J++ which isn't
really Java, is easy to program in and can call any COM object defined
in Windows, including all the DirectX APIs. Frankly, after learning Java
I consider the time I spent on C++ to have been a complete waste.
