Hi Caleb, this list is for development of GCC, your question would be more appropriate on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Assuming you want a compiler to run on windows, try this: http://ems.calumet.purdue.edu/mcss/kraftrl/cs302/mingw-install.html That page starts off by installing the compiler, then recommends installing a development environment called Quincy: http://www.alstevens.com/quincy2002/index.html Qunicy is a development environment that works with MinGW (a version of the GNU C++ compiler for windows). The Quincy site includes instructions on downloading and installing MinGW, which you can get here: Another set of step-by-step instructions here: http://members.shaw.ca/CompSci30S/Chapter%202/Ch02pg01.html http://members.shaw.ca/CompSci30S/Chapter%202/Ch02pg02.html N.B. the Quincy FTP site doesn't seem to be responding right now but that's probably temporary, there's a copy of the download file here: http://www.kishwaukeecollege.edu/faculty/sgrever/cis150/quincy.html but I have no idea if that copy is safe, it could have been modified. Use it at your own risk. You might want to try a book called "You Can Do It" by Francis Glassborrow, which comes with a CD that includes Quincy and MinGW. I've not looked at "C++ For Dummies" but Francis's book is very good. jon
