Windows 8 anc C++

[josh programs]

I have tried Dev-c++ on Windows 8, but it doesn't work. Or better, when I click on compile and run, Windows said that g ++.exe has stopeed working (even if i said to g++.exe to run in compatibility mode with windows xp).

Can you reccomend me some compilers for windows 8?

I'm a beginner. rading the tutorial ... please reccomend me something

Visual Studio 2010 Express
Code::blocks (with MinGW)

I've run Visual Studio 2010 in a Windows 8 virtual box without an issue. I don't see why code::blocks wouldn't work. Dev c++ is very out of date and there are no plans to update it. Therefore I'm not surprised that it doesn't work with a new operating system.

I just set up W8 in a virtual machine, C::B and the version of MinGW that comes with it both work fine. You need to wipe the outdated MinGW that came with Dev-C++ off your hard disk first, though.
