Sorry about leeting in the description. Sometimes you just can't fight back the inner dork. And believe you me, my inner dork is a serious bastard. Bastard would claw your eyes out as soon as look at you.

Anywawho, I'm looking for a decent, free (read: not h4x0red) c++ editor/compiler suite type of thing. Worse comes to worse, I could just settle for a decent compiler, but I like spiffy front-ends because I'm a child of the visual world.

Anyone have any good advice/suggestions? [addsig]

Ooh, looks like a winner. I'll give that one a shot when I get the chance. Thanks! [addsig]

I did. Now, I just use an editor like pico and run it through gcc.

ppfft pico. Lightweight

Just kidding. I can't stand pico though, give me VI or VIM anyday, since you can compile through VI and on an error it stops says the error and shows the line within VI .

Are you talking about just compiling C programs (gcc)? Or are you talking about the GCC package thing.

Anyway. Eclipse kicks some major ass, not to mention you can import many languages into it. I think it defaults as a Java IDE (But you have to download the java packages from SUN), but you can get plug ins from IBM and such for C++. And I believe they use the G++ compiler.
It was originally developed for Linux, so the Win32 is a little slower, but no biggie

Eclipse IDE Downloads page (This is their main page, the download page is usually in a frame)

Take a look here for some cool utilities

and this is for the C/C++ packages.
CDT stands for C/C++ Development Tools.

Anyway, Ecplise is pretty nice and reliable and supports numerous languages (take a look on the main tools page)

hope that helps! [addsig]
