Hello, I want to learn C++ to creat simple programs. I can use quick basic, but it is not enough for me. So, I've been started learning c++. But I've got a problem. I can't convert my program to .exe from .txt. What can I use to compile? I need to simple and free compile programme.
 
G++ is pretty much the standard compiler these days.

However, you probably want to use an IDE which has many more useful features and makes the whole development process easier. Netbeans is one example - originally written for Java but now supports a whole host of languages (C++ included.)
 
Get visual studio (I have 11 beta, but it's probably outdated).
I take C++ at university so we learn in Unix (which uses g++ as mentioned earlier).
The g++ compiler - Cprogramming.com
I'm guessing you could install it and run it from cmd.

As far as getting it to an exe, I can do that in visual studio but for the most part you'll compile as .cpp and run the output file.
