Are there any free c/c++ compilers which will allow compilation
targeting 64 bit WIndows 7?

Apparently Intel does, see
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/using-intelr-compilers-for-linux-under-fedora/
The cite is for Fedora but you should be able to glean enough
information there to locate a source that fits your usage.
From a cursory reading it looks as though the main difference is in
the libraries.

You might try http://gcc.gnu.org/

Thanks for the replies, guys.
What about the MinGW toolchain which uses the GCC software? I've found
the mingw-w64 sourceforge.net project which describes itself as "a
complete runtime environment for gcc to support binaries native to
Windows 64-bit and 32-bit operating systems". I presume this will be OK
on Windows 7 - am I correct in that assumption?
For IDEs I have used Code::Blocks, Notepad++ and NetBeans on previous
occasions.

NetBeans should work with the MinGW set. Of course I've used NetbeansPaul said:Thanks for the replies, guys.

on Solaris and it works ok, albeit it is different in trying to pull in
outside files into a project... which is what you have to create before
you can compile and run the program. Use the latest MinGW as I
understand it will work with Win7. GCC has a switch...
gcc -m64 -o filename filename.c the -m64 switch compiles to 64-bit.
You have to realize that the standard gcc was designed for unix and
linux oses. The MinGW is a port of gcc to windows. So, a lot of
reading is in order.

Thanks for the comment. I shall be polishing my reading spectacles!
