Looking for a Compiler

[Tomato Cat]

Although technically Code::Blocks is not a compiler. It's the interface, the actual back end that does the compiling is usually GCC (or the MingW version of GCC on windows).

Jajaja. xD That's what I meant!

She hadn't specified her OS, and I figured Codeblocks (with either compiler) would be a good choice due to, as you had mentioned, its portability.

Nice laptop by the way! Does it by any chance run off a Raspberry Pi? You said it was ARM-based.

*nvm* You said Pandora. =o

Oh yes, if OS is an issue then NetBeans supports pretty much everything.

Netbeans has C++ compiler? I thought that was a Java IDE?

[Your Computer]

MSVC++ if you're developing on Windows, GCC (more accurately, G++, but G++ is just GCC with C++ flags) if you're developing on Linux. I recommend CMake to handle all configuration mess for you, since CMake will generate project and make files regardless of these platforms.

I could go on about it for hours, but I'll try to avoid going off topic (by too much).
It's a Cortex-A8 (600MHz on the earlier model, 1GHz now, overclockable too) based handheld with resistive touch screen, dual analog controls, physical (and really good) keyboard, dual sd cards, full size usb, high quality audio and running angstrom linux. It's designed to be the ultimate retro emulation game device (fully speed playstation and amiga emulation, etc) but also it's linux is a desktop os. Crazy battery life too.

And now back to compilers...

Yes, it has a special C/C++ version amongst others.
