Roghto, I'm having problems with compilers.

I have Dev-C++, But every piece of code that goes into it it errors and doesn't Compile. (I've even tried copying and pasting the code direct from the site).

So I got pissed off and downloaded Borland C++ and it works, but having to type c:\borland\bc... whatever just to compile it is annoying, is there any compilers you'd recommend? Free preferably, if not, meh! no loss there!

Any help would be appreciated!

Thats your fault, don't blame the compiler. Most C++ compilers follow the C++ standard so if you get an error in Dev-C++ you will probably get an error in any compiler. (unless its just a compiler quirk)

Mingw is the compiler that the IDE Dev-C++ uses, if you have not got it installed and are trying to compile in Dev-C++ thats probably your problem. Download and install it :).

You should have downloaded the copy of Dec-C++ that comes with MingW, that would have been easier for you. Anyway try this one.

Lets see the code you are trying to compile; It could be pre standard.

Code: [Select]
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout<<"HEY, guess what, I'm alive =D. Oh, and Hello World\n";
  cin.get();

  return 1;
} 
Thats it, It might be the code after all it is me. But when I copied it right of the site it still doesn't compile, well only with Borland

Well, its all fine, so theres definately something missing or messed up with the compiler.
Note: return 0 (not 1) from main to indicate success.

I always had this problem using devcpp and then using visual cpp try using oldschool iostream.h thus

Code: [Select]
#include <iostream.h>

using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  cout<<"HEY, guess what, I'm alive =D. Oh, and Hello World\n";
  cin.get();

  return 1;
}
not sure but that might do it... although you might not have to use a namespace for std I believe I heard that somewhere maybe not

No: Non standard, old.
Up to date, correct way:
Code: [Select]
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

Depricated identifier-polluting warning-giving (old) way:
Code: [Select]
#include<iostream.h>

And:
Code: [Select]
return 0;

C++ is a messed up language.
It has been chaned alot over the years, and one of these changes forced the change of iostream insted of iostream.h : This change was and is for the better - Don't ignore it.

I know that but not all compilers are up to date with the new way

Why use them then?; Because microsoft make people pay for new ones?

A compiler that old probably doesn't have things like covariant return types and partial specification; Imagine trying to learn something new, and it doesn't compile, only instead of just changing it to fit the old compiler as you suggest, it doesnt exist at all in the old compiler so its basically impossible to do. That would ... well ... suck !
