This tutorial gives you easy-to-follow instructions, with screenshots, for
setting up a compiler (the MINGW compiler), a tool that will let you
turn the code that you
write into programs, and Code::Blocks, a free development
environment for C and C++. This tutorial explains how to install
Code::Blocks on Windows 2000, XP, Vista or Windows 7.
Note: if you're running Linux, go here to learn how to use GCC; if you're on OS X, go here to get set up using Apple XCode.

- Save the file to your desktop. It is roughly 74 megabytes. more...
