good C compiler

[David Wade]

Is there some good and convenient C compiler (freeware), to compile C
source code?

Lots of good "C" compilers.

Just compile ready source code, some handy tool for non
programmers.

Thats harder. "C" is not a tool for non-programmers. Most "floating round
the net" "C" code has compiler or OS dependacies so won't compile straight
of the box...

 

[Herbert Rosenau]

Different compilers produce the different size EXE of the same source
code?

Not only different compilers but the same compiler using different
flags results in different object code size. Using the same/different
linkers with different flagc have influence on the size of the object
they create.

If so, however, the better is compilers that produce a small, compact
code.

I will need to change(configure) URL in source code, how do better deal
with this?

When the size of the object created by compiler/linker is really
critical you have to experiment around with different
compilers/linkers and different flags to them every time you
compiles/links again. There is no general rule available on that.
