Codewarrior doesn't want to let me use opengl libraries, so I need to find a new compiler... Any one have any suggests on an easy to use, simple, and good compiler? [edited by - Sky on January 8, 2003 8:03:22 PM]

I use Visual C++ 6, its really easy to use, fast, and somewhat simple IMO. Over all i would say its an great compiler! Allways worked for me .

Just my 2 cents...

I hate using MS stuff (not saying I don''t though).
I''ve tried Visual C++ before but it seemed overly complicated and kinda confusing. ::shrugs::

If you have to have an ide, Dev-C++ http://www.bloodshed.net isn''t bad. But if you''re a little more techy, or a linux/unix user, you may want to just get MingW http://www.mingw.org for your windows compilations.

edit: Nevermind, I found out.

oh my god ::crys::

Ok, I installed Dev-C++, and I opened it and it all looked good, so I created a new project and chose the "Hello World" thing to test it.

I choose the compile and run option and then it gives a couple errors, one of them being... "iostream.h: No such file or directory"

I went and looked and I found it. -.-
Stupid program... I went to compile options and told it to include the folder with iostream.h in it (it was including a folder which has that, along with some other folders, within it) but it still doesn''t work!

Visual C++ with Visual Assist is far superior to any other IDE IMO. I feel naked using other IDE''s without visual assist, it just makes programming so much simpler and less error prone for me.

Its definately worth the money

Personally, when I have been programming for a bit I start just not making any errors (other than logic ones) just from doing it so much...
What's Visual Assist?

Hello,

I would advise just going MSVC++ 6 . I use dev-c++ myself and have had a hard time trying to use it. For openGL it''s great there is a template included to start an openGL project. But if you want to start using other peoples libraries (most people seem to use MSVC++ 6 it is very frustrating). My latest problem was writing a DLL. It seems if you compile it in DEV-C++ (which uses MingW) then programs compiled in MSVC++ 6 cannot easily load them and vice versa without alot of workarounds (or so I think, I never actually got it working). Anyway just my opinion but get MSVC++ 6, save yourself alot of frustration later on.
