well i'm totally new to any other programming language :p and scar basically allows you to script in the compiler, but i haven't managed to find a compiler that does this for C++ (apart from VC++) and the best guide i have found is http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ which doesn't go into much detail about the compilers so yeah if anyone can give me a run through on how to use a compiler and/or find a better guide please post or pm me :) thanks

Code::Blocks and Dev-C++ are good compilers.

http://www.cprogramming.com/compilers.html that may help?

They both are not compilers. GCC is the compiler they use, and you can find it at www.mingw.com (Minimalist GNU for Windows)

Like wizzup said. Dev C++ and Code::blocks aren't compilers they are IDE's (interactive development environments)

If you are looking for a good IDE, then I would suggest either Visual Studios C++ or Netbeans. Both are pretty good.

For a good compiler, g++, Microsofts c++ compiler (I don't know if you can download their CLI compiler without the IDE anymore), and bordlands c++ compilers are really your only options.
