For visual c++ there is documentation at among other places here:

As a linux user I use gcc which you can use on Windowsboth in code::blocks and dev-c++ (which doesn't have the sixty-four bit). You don't need it though.



Download this:



http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/



Install the relevant files to a directory called C:\MINGW and add that to your %PATH% variable.

Compile in the terminal by going to the directory where your source file is located and typing "g++ -o .cpp". To step through the program type "g++ -o -g .cpp" typing "gdb " l to list the program, set a break point r to run it and when it stops at that breakpoint type step to execute and run the next step, then just enter for the next step. Here is some documentation.

For compiling multiple files use the make tutorial.



Believe me, once you are used to it it's easier than an IDE.

You must be competent to do a blank set up of both 32 or sixty four bit Windows on there and not using a main issue sixty four bit Win 7 calls for two GB I suppose, however you would be larger off with 32 bit in case your RAM is solely three GB in any case

Pawn Compiler is a great scripting tool I use for the add-on game Grand Theft Auto San Andreas Multiplayer. It is by CompuPhase and you can download it here, details and everything.
