I am a mainframe programmer wanting to learn C++. I downloaded CodeBlock and need a compiler to make it work. All searches keep coming back to you and even after studying and trying your site for 3 hours, I cannot figure out how to get a compiler.
I'n on a Windows 10 PC and need a C++ 14 or 17 (17 would be better) compiler. DO you have a link directly t the download and simple instructions on how to install it? Remember - a mainframe programmer with very limited PC development!

Except on Linux where distributions provide pre-built binaries
the usual way to get GCC is to build it from sources. Binaries
for some systems can be downloaded from a few unofficial places:
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html
On Windows, installing Cygwin or MinGW will get you GCC as well.
