Hello all, I have recently started learning C++ but I require a compiler. I have tried the one packaged with Code::Blocks but I have been told it is out of date. I have tried reading the instructions on the website but I simply don't know which files to download and un-zip. Does anyone know of a list of files to download? (latest version) and a folder structure I need? thanks in advance, ell.
