<p>What's a good compiler that I should use? My main language isn't C++ but having some language mobility would help.</p>
<p>I just use Visual C++. Their IDE is pretty nice too, though Microsoft can sometimes be annoying.</p>
<p>Ok thanks, I’ll give it a try. I was using bloodshed dev and it was pretty much like notepad so I didn’t like it very much.</p>
<p>Are there any alternatives? 
2008 says that it’s installed, but it only put managed to install one file that was 15kb.
2010 says that the installation was not able to install the following… in the following it had the C++ IDE.
The most recent beta version just crashes a few seconds after I run it.</p>
<p>I’m not sure. Maybe you should just stick to using bloodshed dev. It doesn’t seem that bad. In notepad, you can only undo once :P</p>
