C++ Compiler On FreeBSD

[James Jeffery]

Evening to you all (or morning in some parts of the world).

Im learning C++ from Sams Teach Yourself C++, now many will call this
a dumb method, and the books pointless and stupid, but i have no knowledge
of any lower level languages, so i do need to be spoon fed the basics.

Im using Borland C++ compiler on XP and was wondering what compilers
there are for FreeBSD that would allow me to compile and execute some
of the examples i will practise from the book.

Also if anyone wants to recommend any other books on C++ feel free. We
are learning VB at college at the moment, i like it, but its not machine
portable
and i dont like the whole drag and drop way of creating a program, seems
like
cheating.

Thanks for reading

James
