Is there a porable compiler? i Know of pcc for C but i am learning C++ and i don't think it supports it.

the reason is i have alot of time at school so i was going to work at school with portable notepad++ and a portable compiler

DevC++ in a USB drive does the trick, its small and you dont need to install

Just a tip: I highly recommend you avoid attempting to make Code::Blocks portable. While it can be done, it's not fun.. at all.. trust me.

Codeblocks will work absolutely fine.

You just have to get GCC seperately. First get MinGW and put that in a folder on your memory stick, then install Codeblocks to your memory stick (the non MinGW version) with all plugins. Then just set the executable path in the Codeblocks settings for your MinGW folder.

WTF, I've got C::B on my USB drive, it was painless. What kind of problems did you have?

like it actually installed in windows if you go to add/remove programs (in windows) it says Code::Blocks on there and i want it portable were its like unzip and well compile (and i'm talking about just a compiler i don't need an IDE i can use Notepadd++)

Well.. if the actual program files for Codeblocks are on the memory stick, you could try removing the memory stick, then clicking "Remove" in the Add/Remove Programs window.

DevC++ on a usb drive here

doesn't work because unistall.exe does not exist (already tried) wait would installing it? coping all the files to the desktop then uninstall from the thumb drive then copying back the files work?

When it tells you that the un-installer doesn't exist, it SHOULD prompt you if you want to remove the program anyway.

This is because otherwise you could potentially get a program stuck there forever if the uninstaller gets corrupted/lost :P

well it doesn't though so then what? do i do?

Wel... Try to copy & paste the files somewhere, "uninstall" it, and then paste them back.

I have the ultimate portable compiler: linux on a usb drive

I got it to work like my steps i took (i'll post it ) worked thanks!!!!!

1. Run install to your flash drive
2. Copy your files to your desktop (copy not move)
3. Run unistall from your start menu
4. Copy back files from your desktop
5. Start up Code::Blocks and off you go

(i have not fully tested this yet though so i do not know if all the features work (though they should))
