Compiler

Anyone know of a gcc (maybe there is a Windows version of gcc)equivalent compiler that I can download (for free) and run on a Windows2000 machine? Am new to C and want to keep writing code while I am away on vacation - bringin my laptop .

thanks in advance

Borland has a free c++ compiler which will work on windows.. not sure if it's capable of compiling c code as well..

For those interested, I stumbled onto this site. DJGPP

DJGPP is a complete 32-bit C/C++ development system for Intel 80386 (and higher) PCs running DOS. It includes ports of many GNU development utilities. The development tools require a 80386 or newer computer to run, as do the programs they produce. In most cases, the programs it produces can be sold commercially without license or royalties.

The ximian group released a compiler called mono- I don't know if it was strict gnome only, but I rember it being kinda big. Borland is a really good way to go, should you be forced to 'doze. (Not recommended)

A GCC port on windows is available as MinGW.
