g++ command not found

[gnostlos]

I cannot compile a little program that has always compiled on other Linux distributions. The makefile reads:

start: start.o
g++ -g -o start start.o
start.o: start.c
g++ -g -c start.c

The response is:

g++ -g -c start.c
make: g++: Command not found

I must have made a very foolish error, for I see no other posts about it.

Try the following and let us know how you get on:

sudo apt-get install build-essential g++

Did you install:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install build-essential

Thanks for the amazingly quick reply. The "apt-get" did install g++. That solves the problem posed by my post.
