is there such a thing as a free light weight c++ compiler out there? i travel a lot and want to program snippets of code all the time. unfortunately i can't afford a laptop so i would like to do all my programming off my 512MB memory stick. i.e. not having to install VC++ where ever i go. thanks (sorry if this constitutes as a programming question ;P )

I may be mistaken (yeah, it does happen), but I believe the Platform SDK includes a command line compiler. I've never used it, but I seem to recall someone here suggesting it to me years ago when I couldn't afford to upgrade to the next version of VS.

Well, you'll want
- Compiler & other binary tools (e.g. linker)
- Include directories
- Library files
You could do worse than install the VC++ Toolkit on your main PC and copy the associated 'bin', 'include' and 'lib' directories onto your memory stick. Oh, and it helps if you have some sort of batch file to set up the environment variables for this lot. Alternatively, you could try the Digital Mars C++ compiler (don't know how good it is), OpenWatcom or v5.5 of the Borland C++ compiler. I don't know if there's any GCC available for Windows without Cygwin. My personal preference would be the VC++ compiler.

There is: http://www.mingw.org/ -

Not sure how light the Dev-C++ compiler is, but it is free. "For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you would never have considered. That is the exploration that awaits you.

It's not a compiler. It is an IDE around mingw (gcc for Windows)

Damn, you caught me. :-O "For that one fraction of a second, you were open to options you would never have considered. That is the exploration that awaits you. Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence." - _Q (Star Trek: The Next Generation) _^__

I think DMC++ can be run off a removable device.
