OK, so does anybody know of a good tree C++ compiler for Windows?
I mistakenly thought VisualStudio Express was free, but in fact after X
days it stops working and demands a license key.
I suppose there's always GCC - if I install a damned Unix emulator. >_<
I think Watcom used to make a C compiler...

Then get the license key. It's free.

I second that.
The license for MSVC 10 (or whatever) is free. And they are not even
trying to spam you with lot of email (I know, I had such key)
The real sickness of MSVC is the C compiler: K&R only. C++ is ok.

I third that.
Had the C++ and C# express versions installed on all my machines for
ages now (and I think I needed to register for a new key each time I
installed, it took some trivial amount of time to get the key and enter
it, otherwise I would have remembered).

As soon as I click the link, it wants me to "log in". Damned if I'm
going to jump through that many hoops just to use something that's
/supposed/ to be freely usable. :-P

So the value of having Visual Studio Express is less than one minute of
your time? Your time must be *really* expensive :-)
Personally (and I'm sure I'm not alone) I would happily have paid up to
£50 or something for all the Visual Studio Express IDEs.

You can complain about the "difficulty" of registering it and try to
use something else, or you could simply spend a few minutes registering.
You only have to do it once.
(Nevertheless, do you wonder anymore why so many developers prefer Linux?)

Damn. You must have A LOT of money. ;-)

And by "once" I presume you mean "every single time you want to install
this program".

Well, Visual Studio does work nicer than KDevelop; I'll say that for it.
But yeah, Unix was always intended to be a platform for software
developers and similar experts.

How many times are you planning on installing it?

Yeah, well, if I was being *paid* to write code, it might be different.
But for just casual experimentation...

How about "every time I reinstall Windows"?

Why would you reinstall Windows?

Wait, didn't you buy some sound software that was IIRC an order of
magnitude more expensive than £50?

More to the point, the time it takes to *register* VS Express is totally
insignificant compared to the time it takes to install it, let alone
compared to installing *Windows*.

Don’t make sensible suggestions. They cannot be argued against (I think).

Yeah, I did. And it's not something I can afford to do every day. Life
is all about priorities, after all...

I'll try :-) Mine is probably stored in my email somewhere, but to be
honest every time I have installed it has been faster to just go the MS
website and get a new key...

Failed! Still sensible. :-P

I know the feeling. Why go to the trouble of remembering passwords when
you can just reset them. ^_^
