How do I install dev c++ for ubuntu

[Fzero]

What do I type in terminal to install dev c++ for ubuntu? I already have the files

[FuturePast]

Can you be more specific. What files do you have? Where did you get them from?

Even though the SourceForge page says it runs on Linux, all I could find was source files written in Delphi and Windows setup executables. Couldn't find it in the repositories. Maybe try another IDE like Anjuta.

It comes with an OpenOffice Document with all that you need. (File extension .odt)

You need to install other things first, so read carefully!

DevC++ is not portable, the only way to run it is with "wine" or some derivation of it.

There is a lot of good IDE's that run on Linux.

Take a look at Anjuta, Eclipse (with CDT), Codeblocks, etc. They are way better than the DevCpp.

Well!
In order to run Dev C++, you need to use : System>>adminstration>>Synaptic package menager.

Write at the search field : gcc

It will give you unremarked gcc(3-4)(or may be the last version), you will need to download it by mouse right click, mark it, the apply.

it should work properly.
hope it will help you

DevC++ has bean out of development since 2005, thus could be considered a dead program. Find a batter IDE, or learn a text editor like Vim.

depend on what you want to do. If you are new to C++ and want to learn it, use Geany. If you want to do something bigger, use codeblock or anjuta. Don't use Eclipse cause it is heavy and basically, it is designed for java, not for C/C++
