C++ Compiler only? (Netbeans)

Question

I use Netbeans as my IDE. Now, I only need a compiler (ie not a full-featured development kit, as I already have one. Except it doesn't come with a C compiler) to compile C programs I write. However, I cannot find one that is only a simple compiler, I only stumble across full-blown 500MB compilers, while I just need a few MB compiler that supports advanced features such as templates, RTTI, Qualifiers etc.

Answer 1

I haven't checked the file size, but I recommend GCC . If you are on Windows, I would recommend the GCC port called MinGW .

Answer 2

MinGW is the best solution. I use it too. but if you feel it's too much work. Try using dev-C++ . it's a simple light weight compiler.
