Well we'd need to know what distro & version you have

Code:

cat /etc/*release*

You'll need (as a bare minimum) the gcc tools eg on Centos

Code:

 rpm -qa|grep gcc
gcc-4.4.6-4.el6.x86_64
libgcc-4.4.6-4.el6.x86_64
gcc-c++-4.4.6-4.el6.x86_64

RHEL/Centos also offer pkg groups

Code:

 yum grouplist|grep -i devel
   Additional Development
   Desktop Platform Development
   Development tools
   Server Platform Development

You will need to install following packages for complilation:

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Also make sure that you have gcc utiliity:

Code:

which gcc

If you find gcc, then simply create a program (in a text file, e.g. sampleprog), make it executable, and then run, as:

Code:

example%  vi sampleprog
example%  chmod +x sampleprog
example%  gcc sampleprog.c -o sampleprog

You will need gcc for c and g++ for c++. Just type g++ at the terminal to see if you have it intalled. If you have it installed, the terminal will tell you that "no input files". So you have to write a c++ program save it with a ".cpp" entension. To compile it "g++.program.cpp" then run the ".out" file ie "./a.out".

Let me know if you were assisted by this.

Everything you should need for building compiling and more

Quote:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

for IDE you can use code::block or eclispe in the software manager. I'm sure there is plenty more you can choose from though.
