    Default How do you install a c++ compiler?

    I don't understand. I downloaded 'mingw'




    I don't understand what I'm supposed to do with the .zip.

    Where do I extract it too?

    There are no clear instructions online, they all link me to different compilers but don't tell me what to do with what I downloaded.

    auto installer:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/ming...atest/download

    Or may I recommend to just install code::blocks and have it all in one. Just like when you install lazarus.

    It should be a .exe. It puts the folder at the right place. A compiler is just nothing more then a bunch of files. It should have a folder called bin(binaries) which contains the compiler executables like c++.exe
