The project will be developed on a Windows machine and it will be the development of a normal Windows GUI type Application. 1 - Which IDE &/or Framework do you guys suggest I start with for a Windows Project? Eclipse, Code Blocks, minGW or what? 1a - Actually that brings up another question... if developing on a Windows machine... must I use the minGW port of VCC? I'm a little confused as I thought there was a version of VCC that would run right on a MS Windows machine... or is that in fact minGW? And, is minGW as developed as VCC? 2 - Do all of these IDE's have debuggers that can set Break Points, create Watches, and have an Immediate Window for evaluating variables or whatever? 3 - Any pro's & con's would be helpful as I hate to get started with one to & find out later I blew days or weeks on the wrong one :) Thanks for the help. I'm excited about working with the GCC compiler. -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/Which-GUI-IDE---or-Framework-for-newbie-C-C%2B%2B-Windows-Dev--tp33440463p33440463.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
