Dev-C++ is a free integrated development environment (IDE) distributed under the GNU General Public License for programming in C/C++. It is bundled with MinGW, a free compiler. The IDE is written in Delphi. The program itself has a look-and-feel similar to Microsoft Visual Studio. One additional aspect of Dev-C++ is its use of DevPaks, packaged extensions on the programming environment with additional libraries, templates, and utilities. Dev-C++ is generally considered a Windows-only program. There is also a Linux version available, but it is in alpha and has not been updated since July 2002.
