The Compilersresources page
Here you'll find free compilers including sometimes their sources and articles on writing a compiler.A forum to discuss about compilers and programming is available at http://bloodshed.net/forum. If you want to contact me about this page, senda mail to [email protected]

Dev-C Compiler Setup on Windows OS - Dev-C is C/C IDE which is free, portable, fast and simple in use. Steps to Install DEV C on Windows OS Download Dev C from: Web Design.
If you know of any resources about compilers I could add to thispage, please submitit.
This page is divided into 4 sections (some may be added infuture).
1°)Freecompilers (with source code)
1°)Freecompilers
Bloodshed Dev C Online Compiler Gdb
Here is the free compilerslist. If you want to add a new one to this list, click here.
SmallC : Small C compiler written by J. E.Hendrix. C source code included.
P32: Pascal compiler. Currently in development but works great.Pascal source included.
Djgpp: THE free compiler for c, c++, forth, pascal and more includingC sources.
TinyPascal: A small implementation of the Pascal language. Full Delphisources included.
FreePascal :32-bit Pascalcompiler for Dos, Linux, OS/2. Pascal source code included. Usedin Dev-Pascal.
ScriptBasic: Free embeddable and extendable scripting basic interpreter withfull C source code. Tested on Windows NT and on Linux.
Yabasic:Small basic interpreter(with source code for Visual C++ 6) for Windows and Linux
XSCompiler: This MSDOS compiler generates 32-bit protected mode programs from a language that is C compatible, but includes classes and multiple inheritance. It comes with the standard C library, graphics, sound, multitasking, compression, animation, GIF, PCX, FLI/FLC, and other libraries. The compiler itself is compiled using this language.
Mingw: A very good Win32 port of the GNU GCC compiler (used inDev-C++)
2°)Compilersconstruction toolkits
Here is the compilersconstruction toolkit list. If you want to add a new one to thislist, clickhere.
compiler generator that generates recursive descent parsers.Available versions ( Oberon, Modula-2, Pascal, Delphi, C andJava) for more info see http://cs.ru.ac.za/homes/cspt/cocor.htm
antlr: another tool for language recognition Tool written in Java forgenerating recognizers in Java or C++. No money requiredfor use, but download requires online registration for authorstracking purposes. Runs with SUN Java SDK.
Delphi Compiler Generator : Runs on Win32 only, written in Delphi, source code included. Free (as in 'free beer', not 'free speech') for non commercial use
GENTLE Compiler Construction System : This compiler construction tool purports to provide a uniform framework for language recognition, definition of abstract syntax trees, construction of tree walkers based on pattern recognition, smart traversal, simple unparsing for source to source translation and optimal code selection for microprocessors. Note however that if you use it to create an application, the licensing terms require that your applications be licensed under the GNU GPL.
Jacc : Jacc is a general-purpose parser generator that given a LALR(1) context-free grammar generates the source(s) of a C++ class that implements a parser for the language defined by the grammar. Jacc has a robust and powerful semantic value type system that allows the user to benefit by the OO language environment. Another innovative feature is its customizable code generating back end - the Jamp macro processor which generates the final sources based on a template file and attributes defined in the jacc grammar file. This way the user has better control to the style and structure of the generated code.

Bloodshed Dev C++ Download
I was searching for alternative for Turbo C++ and I found out a very good IDE “Dev-C++”. Unlike turbo c++, It has enough user base & supported by libraries/developers, help is available on many programming forums.Also many game developers use Dev-C++ as their back-end IDE.In next few articles,you will learn a lot about Dev-C++.In this article i have focused on introductory part of Dev-C++.
About Dev-C++
Dev-C++ is a free integrated development environment (IDE) for programming in C/C++. Dev-C++ is developed by Bloodshed software. It is shipped with the open source MinGW compiler. MinGW uses GCC,the GNU g++ compiler collection. With Dev-C++ you can write Windows or console-based C/C++ programs easily, you can even create installer for your application. Dev-C++ is hosted on Sourceforge. Current available version is 4.9.9.2(i.e Version 5 Beta). There is no news of recent updates for this IDE. Also Dev-C++ runs solely on windows, linux port no longer exists.

Also Dev-C++ runs solely on windows, linux port no longer exists.
Update: There is a development team that has taken Dev-C++ IDE added few extra features like support for multiple compilers and Wxwidgets RAD port.This IDE is renamed as wxDev-C++.
Getting Dev-C++
You can downlaod Dev-C++ officially from Bloodshed or other mIrros like this.You an even purchase Dev-C++ CD-ROM that offers source code and examples alongwith the Compiler.
Get CD from Bloodshed Store Here : http://www.bloodshed.net/ordercd.html. To download Dev-C++,point your browser to http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html .

Install Dev-C++
Follow the above mentioned link to download the most recent yet “beta” version of Dev-C++. When the installer offers to start Dev-C++ and will ask you some questions the first time you use it. Choose the default options.
Follow the above mentioned link to download the most recent yet “beta” version of Dev-C++. When the installer offers to start Dev-C++ and will ask you some questions the first time you use it. Choose the default options.
You should let the installer put Dev-C++ in the default directory of C:Dev-Cpp, or put Dev-C++ in a simple location, such as D:Dev-Cpp. Avoid using folders and file names with spaces, as it will make it easier to later install add-ons or upgrades. Don’t put your own code inside the Dev-C++ folder. You may lose your work if you have to reinstall Dev-C++. You can create separate folder with name “Code”. You can later locate this directory with environment options.
Configure Dev-C++
Create a folder in Windows where you will keep all your code, e.g.,D:/fun/code. Now start the Dev-C++. In Dev-C++, click on the Tools menu and select the Environment Options menu option. Click on the tab labeled Files & Directories. click on the small “folder selector” icon next to User’s Default Directory field. This will open a file dialog box that will let you navigate to and select your code directory. After you have found and selected your directory, click Ok to choose it, then click Ok again to close the Environment Options dialog box.
Now in order to use debugger with our programs we have to modify some settings.In Dev-C++, click on the “Tools” menu and select “Compiler Options”. In the “Settings” tab, click on “Linker” in the left panel, and change “Generate debugging information” to “Yes”. then click Ok again to close the Settings dialog box.
Using Dev-C++
Like any other Compiler,Dev-C++ has option for creating project. This project file contains settings and all the related file information related your application. To create project you have to do following steps.Go to the “File” menu and select “New” then “Project.”. This will bring new dialog box for project properties. Choose “Empty Project” and then check “C++ project” or “C Project” as per project. Give a good name for your project and Click “Ok”. Dev-C++ will now ask you where to save your project.Give the right direction for your code directory then click on save.
If you want to work with source files then Go to the “File” menu and select “New” then “Source”. Here you will not be asked to save the file by compiler until and unless you compile or save file or exit Dev-C++.
DevPaks
DevPaks is the most famous extention of Dev-C++. Devpaks are usually libraries that contains GUI utilities,Toolkits,Compression libraries,Graphic libraries etc. Devpaks for famous toolkits like Wxwidgets, GTK,python, OpenGL are also available.There are many devpaks available for more advanced function use. These packs contain precompiled version of the library,so that any new user can download & develop without having to worry about library. Devpaks’s website has a list of paks in various categories.

Please don’t ask about homework problems in c++ or other stuff.If you found any bug or have problems with compiler post it on bloodshed website. If you have any suggestions & corrections, please do not hesitate to post it here.You can request for tutorial regarding “How to do this in Dec++” etc, but i suggest reading FAQ before posting small stuff here.
More articles about Dev-C++ are coming soon,so keep reading.
