sudo apt-get install build-essential

Create yourself a new directory for your playing around.

Create the file hello.cpp

#include <iostream>

int main()
{
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
}

compile it with

g++ -o hello hello.cpp
(-o says what to call the output of the compilation step [a.out by default])

execute it with

./hello

and you are away laughing.

Here is another quick question whats the diffrence between gtk+ c++ or somethign and windows c++
since i want to train but my book is directed for c++ and cant launch the compiled stuff from the linux

GTK is a gui toolkit. A library that is called from C++. The Win32 API is also a gui toolkit, but with a different API.

GTK is also available on windows I believe. wxWindows is another cross platform GUI library, and so is QT.

Examples in your windows book should work fine as long as they aren't using windows specific stuff (like <windows.h>).
