right now i am working with Turbo Borland C++ compiler...however now i want to have a try on GCC compiler too...
so where would i get it??
can anybody provide a reliable link to a GCC compiler??? :)

http://gcc.gnu.org/ is the official site for the gcc compiler. Latest version was released in March this year and is version 4.3.0. Note that it is actually a standard compiler that is usually included in a standard install of Linux or the Mac OS as well. So you probably only need to download it if you are running windows.

hey ya buddy...i am running windows XP...so i need to download it.. :(
:)
and i have also visited that site...but couldnt find the actual link from where to download.. :|

You'd probably find Code::Blocks to be the easiest trial. It comes with a Windows port of GCC. Downloading and installing GCC manually can be a chore if you're not used to such things.

Dev-C++/Dev-Cpp is quite popular and comes with the MingW GCC compiler and IDE. google it to find download site

easiest way..
http://nchc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/mingw/MinGW-5.1.3.exe
mingw is windows port of the gcc.
Cygwin too is, but will come loaded with load of other softwares(which of course can be custom installed. but why the pain).
this setup will require internet connection through out the installation process.

yaa...i have downloaded the compiler...thanxx for the help friends... :)
