C++ Compiler
Does anyone know of a good C++ compiler that does not require installation? I need to be able to use it from my home filespace at school. If there are any online compilers those will work too.
http://codepad.org/ may work for you. It can compile and execute simple programs. I'm not sure it can handle programs with multiple source files.
What operating system are you using at school?

Those work fine but I was hoping for something that would actually run a program, rather than only showing the output. Codepad doesn't allow user interaction with the program while it's running. BTW, I'm using Windows XP at school.
You should be able to install Cygwin (GNU compiler) and Eclipse (an IDE) into your home filespace. They work pretty well together.
My school is blocking .exe file downloads, but I'll try downloading at home and bringing it to school on a flash drive. It will be a big pain with dial-up though.
Are you programming on your own? Or is the school teaching C++ programming and not providing a compiler for you to use?
I personally would not recommend Dev-C++, just because it's very old. Others might, but the version of MinGW that comes with it is quite old; it hasn't been updated in quite a few years. wxDev-C++ is another story! I haven't used it but I hear it's very Dev-C++-like, and with a much newer version of MinGW included in the bundle. :)

I've run into strange troubles with Dev-C++ (it's what I started with) that have gone away since I switched.
The Code::Blocks + TDM MinGW bundle does not require admin rights to install, so that should satisfy your requirements.
