Hey Guys,
I've had the urge to get back into the C swing of things, after many many years of neglecting it. Specifically C, not C++.

What's my best option for installing an up-to-date setup for Windows 7?

djgpp + something else?

I'm looking to steer more toward something that I can work with in windows, but be standard enough to be relevant in other Operating Systems. Does such a solution exist? :crying:

I'd not like to go down the Visual Studio 2010 route (not even sure if Visual Studio officially supports C to be honest).

Anyways, any thoughts?

Many Thanks!

What about MinGW, the port of GCC to Windows?

Thanks Winged Panther! This seems to be what I was looking for.

MinGW will build native for windows correct? No need to deploy with cygwin or something similar.

I just downloaded wxDev-C++. Though, I kinda miss codewarrior. =)

wxDev-C++ actually uses MinGW as its compiler, by default. Yes, it builds native Windows binaries.
