Hi all,

Does anybody knows a C compiler and a COBOL compiler that work with MQ and can be downloaded for free?

Thanks

Just remember that "works" and "supported" are very different things.

eg. I would expect almost any C compiler to "work" but there are very few supported (customer demand / requirements). C++ is trickier because name mangling is different on different compilers sometimes, so we end up producing libraries for each compiler.

You also didnt mention a platform.... eg. WMQ for Linux (Intel) seems to support GNU C, which is free (http://www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/mqfamily/platforms/supported/wsmq_for_linux_intel_5_3.html)

The platform is Windows 2000 box, and the support needed is very simple, just for an informal training.

Borland is also making it's C compiler available for free. I don't know how compatible it is with MQSeries these days, though.

Did you review the collection of compilers for Windows at my web site?

I have used all with MQ (except for Perl). I currently use MinGW with Eclipse for C development and Sun's JDK with Eclipse for Java development.

Note: The Fujitsu COBOL compiler is free for "educational use".

The web site is at:

Thought this would be an appropriate addition to this post...

Free! Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003

http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/vctoolkit2003/

The Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 includes the core tools developers need to compile and link C++-based applications for Windows and the .NET Common Language Runtime:

* Microsoft C/C++ Optimizing Compiler and Linker. These are the same compiler and linker that ship with Visual Studio .NET 2003 Professional!
* C Runtime Library and the C++ Standard Library, including the Standard Template Library. These are the same static-link libraries included with Visual Studio.
* Microsoft .NET Framework Common Language Runtime. Visual C++ can optionally build applications that target the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
* Sample code. The toolkit includes four samples designed to showcase the powerful new features of the 2003 version, including new optimization capabilities, features to improve code-security and robustness, enhanced ISO C++ standards support, and the ability to use the .NET Framework library and target the CLR.
