A good C tool

[Andrez]

I'm attending a stupid C course at the university, and I need a C programming tool, that possibly highlights syntax and compiles without using external tools. Not Visual Studio, please.

Thanks.

If it's stupid, why are you attending it? :D

If it's stupid, why are you attending it? :D

Because it's needed to reach my academic degree. :/

By the way, it looks awesome, thanks mate. <3

I'd say DevC++ is easier to operate.

CodeBlocks is cool but some aspects of it are a pain if I remember correctly.

You can give emacs a try:

I thought DevCpp was abandoned.
Either way I switched to Code::Blocks long ago and haven't looked back.

You'll still need to install a compiler for your IDE (mentioning because you referenced "external tools") Code::Blocks has a version bundled with MinGW if you're on Windows.

Can't remember if it uses Mingw-Get, so you might want to get it manually if you want the most recent version.

Hi guys, little update o/
Since I'm now running on Win 8.1, and the old version of DevC++ wasn't working anymore, I switched to Orwell's DevC++, which seems to be very advanced. I recommend it ;)

[ärkefiende]

Orwell's DevC++ is a fork of the old abandoned DevC++, so I can imagine that it's more advanced :D

Anyway, I love QtCreator. You don't need Qt (it's a framework like .NET) to develop with it.
