Reply:It really depends on the compiler. Figure about 10 megabytes for any GCC implementation more for proprietary compilers. If you're on Windows I recommend as does the person above, Bloodshed Software's DevC++ which is the best implementation of GCC on Windows. There are a couple. Among proprietary compilers, any Borland compiler you can get your hands on (and some are cheap) will be excellent and Digital Mars's C++ compiler is one I was working on when I dumped Windows. I didn't have time to buy and try out the IDE because I was transitioning to Linux, however the command line compiler I was using was awesome. And small, but it had no IDE because I didn't think I'd get $54 worth of use out of it in the time I had left to use it. Nevertheless Digital Mars is a REALLY awesome compiler.
