LF: C compiler

[GateGuardian]

Can anyone recommend me a good C compiler? I could used the one on the school's server, but I would have to upload the file ever time I run it.

Visual C++ if you're on Windows (VC++ Express is a free download).. you get a good IDE, too. Downside is you need to be careful to put it in C mode (as opposed to C++) so you don't use any non-compatible language constructs.

gcc is pretty much the standard, afaik, on *nix. You can get it for Windows as well if you download cygwin.

Edit:I'd recommend you upload, compile and run your final code on the school server anyway.. just to make sure it runs fine there. C is supposed to be portable.. but that's not always the case (esp. when you're using libraries).

You could also just ssh into the schools server and write your code directly on it (vim, nano, any number of other command line editors). I assume if you have the ability to upload and compile that you'd also have ssh access?

Command line editors suck, IMHO.

They're not for larger projects obviously, but I'm assuming he's working on smaller programs for assignments or whatever. For small stuff like that I find command line editors to be fine.

I am using SSH right now, even to upload the files, I didn't know MS Visual C++ had a C mode.... i'll download it right now

cygwin, gcc

this would be the way I recommend as well. cli editors are not that scary
