Best C++ IDE and Compiler? [message #1835027]

Hello all, sorry if this question is too simple but I'm going a bit crazy trying to figure this out. I've been learning C++ at school for a while now and was thinking about trying my own projects. At school, the way we code is with a virtual machine and servers and all confusing stuff I do not understand yet (we use emacs and g++ on a linux OS I think). However, when trying to find a way to do this on my computer (Windows), I'm getting so lost in trying to find a good tool and getting lost in how to use everything. Thank you very much for the help.

There are two packages for Windows which give Unixish user interface and utilities: MinGW and Cygwin.

You could download MinGW and install both g++ and emacs into it, to get a familiar system to use. It is little help to use another IDE around Emacs, and there is always the learning step to climb.

Google for MinGW and MinGW Emacs.

Google for MinGW and MSYS, read the instructions and install the software. In a similar way, you can Google for 'MinGW Emacs' and get info for Emacs in your system.

After doing it, there are instructions for Eclipse CDT (C Development Toolkit) in the Eclipse Help pages.

You cannot get anywhere without doing something yourself.

For your own computer, you do not need to log into a network address, everything should be on your own computer.
