Reccomend me a free c++ compiler

[irishScott]

I've got a computer science lab to do, and the Sun CC compiler on the solaris machines at my university is retarded. Any suggestions?

gcc or Visual C++ Express

Even if the Sun CC is retarded it's what has to compile the code for you grade, right? If so, you'll want to stick as close to it as possible. If it's the Sun proprietary compiler you're probbaly screwed, do whatever you can locally with gcc and then hope their compiler isn't too different. If it's gcc then you can work locally all you want confident that it'll work as long as you don't need to link against libraries that only exist on that Sun system.

gcc

gcc best way to go.

We supposedly have the option to use the gcc compiler, but the g++ commandis not recognized for some reason.

Dev-C++ if you want g++ with an IDE.

It's gpp, not g++.

Huh?
