C++ Compiler?

[asddf]

I'm currently doing C++ on windows in Visual Studio, but could someone recommend a good Linux compiler?

Hi,

gcc (g++) should do the compiling trick.

You typically would want to install build-essential since
this includes some other stuff you will need.


$sudo apt-get build-essential

If you also need an IDE you could have a look at elipse, code::blocks, ...
Have a look in one of the many 'which IDE should I use' threads
here on the forum.

Also install Eclipse CDT after the build tools.
eclipse-cpp-galileo-SR2-linux-gtk.tar.gz
- You will also need to install the Java runtime.

This will give an set up where you can compile and run in a gui.

Anjuta, Eclipse.

gcc would be the compiler suite on linux distributions.

I personally would recommend Codelite for the IDE. Netbeans and Eclipse may need more to set up.

gcc /path/to/file.cpp

Should work.

But you can also get GUI based compilers if you want more in-depth IDE like interfaces and what not.

It won't work. "g++" is the C++ compiler. "gcc" is the C compiler. GCC is the name of the collection of compilers.
