Compilers

[Earthlingttc]

For the most part java appears to be the only language that I have found that has free gui based compilers such as bluej(even though you can just use notepad and useing the jdk tools to compile bluej is much easier). Is anyone aware of any other programing languages which have free compilers.
I am teaching someone c++ right now, and he wants a program for his home system to use but I am not aware of any free programs that I could tell him to download. I know there are many good c++ compilers out there but borland, codewarrior, and all other programs I am aware of charge too much for the casual programer to spend.

Thanks.

Let's see...everything just about that's not controlled corporately has a free compiler out there somewhere. I can speak for Pascal and note you can find Borland's compilers on their site as well as several other compilers out there. I've seen free C compilers before as well. You might look around and see what you can find on the net.

Please note that I haven't used any of the above sorfware. I like my CodeWarrior so that is the one I use. Feel free to let me know how they turn out.

Run linux and get a free gcc, cc, g++ compilers and more

Delphi is free

Does anyone know of a decent free gui C compiler for Windows? There HAS to be one out there. I'm just getting started with it, and it's a pain using notepad (N++). I can't wait until I 'graduate' myself to Java.
