sudo apt-get install build-essential will install the compiler and support files. if you want an IDE there are many other opitions such as eclipse.

See the sticky in the programming talk.

If you want a compiler then Open up a terminal and type
man g++ that's the GNU C++ Compiler :)

If you want an IDE then look into Ecplise or something, personally I use Kate for my coding, it supports Syntax highlighting for all languages I code in :)

If you need an IDE install then you can


sudo apt-get install anjuta
sudo apt-get install kdevelop


And they are the top IDE's if you are developing QT/GTK or X11 windows applications. Many people compile applications from the command line, if you do not need an IDE you can install g++ and build-essentials without an IDE. Some people even use a notrpad like kate to write widges and avoid IDE's alltogether but I personall find kevelop is good.

I haven't managed to get Glade/Anjuta to work with the GTK widgets yet. You would need to also install a few dependcies. IIf you know the answer to that please let me gnow. I use kdevelop / QT widges anyway.

I prefer Geany. After you install build-essential, type:

sudo apt-get install geany
It's as easy as F8 to compile, F9 to link, and F5 to run.

If you want to develop software for the GNOME desktop, then install the package gnome-devel:

sudo apt-get install gnome-devel
This will get you a set of tools, including the Anjuta IDE, and developer documentation.

+1 for Geany, it's a really nice light weight editor / IDE.
