Anyone knows a C compiler that works with windows vista?

I've tried Dev C++ and Code:Blocks, both do not work. I need a C compiler(not c++ or c#), that works on windows vista home premium

Anyone knows a C compiler that works with windows vista?
Dev-C++ and Code::Blocks are IDEs for the MingW compiler (Windows port of gcc). It definitely works on Vista, but you may have to take additional steps to get it working. It's not like these steps are a secret. You can Google them.

Or you can use Visual C++ Express.
Reply:Microsoft Visual C++ Express will work with Vista and will compile both C++ and C application and can be downloaded for free from the following location - http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/expres...





It should be noted that if you go with Visual Studio you will have to make sure you create and empty project and only use standard C file extensions (i.e. *.c and *.h) as the complier works by checking the extension you use to determine what mode to compiled with.





Also worth checking out is GCC - http://gcc.gnu.org/ -which has some builds for Vista out as well. However as GCC does not provide a IDE to work in most developers find it a bit intimidating t first and there is a learning curve for compiling programs.
