A free C++ environment

[alexzabr]

Does anybody know any free light C++ compiler/environment to download ? I need one urgently for my wife to work during the upcoming weekend ..

Thanks in advance, Alex

While I've personally never used this before (I'm more of a C# and DOT.NET kinda guy), I've heard it to be one of the better free C++ IDEs.

For the free part, there's always Gnu CC.
For the environment part, there's Eclipse and its CDT perspective.
For the light requirement, any computer that is not totally antiquated should be able to handle Xemacs and its CC mode.
However, how the urgent part goes together with the environment part of your specs I don't know. Any IDE has somewhat of a learning curve.

Heh, at least the "time-to-answer" seems to fit the urgent part of the specs, even in the "Off-Topic" area of this board. Have fun, don't sweat it, and remember:

If you think C++ is not overly complicated, just what is a protected abstract virtual base pure virtual private destructor, and when was the last time you needed one?

Xmm , my wife should rather consider remembering this, not me - she is a software "guy" in our gang, I'm hardware one. Talk MATLAB, scopes, analyzers and other tools..
