Linux C++ Compiler ?

anant · 02-02-2007, 05:00 AM

Hi all,
Could any body suggest me of any good C++ compiler. I would be programming first time over linux so any related help would be appreciated.

Any good tutorial avaiable and i have got gcc complier already installed but i dont think we can program in it as its just to compile and install programs created in C++...

Waiting for good responce..
Thanks

gcc has a c++ compiler called g++ (gcc-c++ or gcc-g++ on some distros). Its usage is more or less similar to using gcc.

Well i have installed this gcc-C++ package through yast in my SLES10. Now how to get the compiler working. I cant see any compiler over the list which i can start and start programming.
How to achieve this ?
Thanks

create an example such as : hello.cpp

Code:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "Hello World!" << endl;
return 0;
}

now, go to the path of the hello.cpp folder, and write in terminal :
g++ hello.cpp -o OutputFile

after you've done that, open that file via :
./OutputFile

it should print "hello world"

For more examples on how to use g++ check manuals : man gcc , man g++

Also, I'd suggest you better use KDevelop, QT, Eclipse or any other Programing software.
I had very good experience with KDevelop.

Good luck!

gcc and g++ are command line compilers. The basic method would be to write your program in a text editor, compile using g++ and then execute it.

I am assuming your actually asking about a Integrated Development Environment (IDE) programming tool for writing, debuging etc. I am familar ajunta or kdevelop but there are several others.

I guess ill try with Kdevlop....as i need IDE. So Kdevelop sounds good for it...

Thanks

There is gcc.

How can i install Kdevelop or ajunta over my system. I have downloaded these two compilers but i guess kdevlop is better then ajunta. So could any body guide the way to install it over the system

Thanks

You should be able to install either (or both) using Yast (You said earlier that you use Suse - can you put this in your profile).

ok ill do that. i am using Sles10.. Yeah i know to install packages using Yast when its with in dvd or cd but now i have got this zipped tar.gz file so i am not pretty sure how to get that running.
But ill try to find out, As in Yast there is a option of software management but it shows the packages that are with in th OS dvd or cd...

Thanks for replying

You need to give info about the documentation that you're finding confusing.

To do this, click on the My LQ link above and then Edit the profile. This will make your distro, Sles10, appear
on the left, just below your username and makes it easier for other people to help you.

A .tar.gz probably requires compilation from source. Try downloading the pre-assembled package from
http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html?f...=download.html. Make sure to choose the package that's tailored for your SuSe version. The package should be installable via your package manager (ie Yast).

ok thanks

Well i installed the rpm package as you mentioned. But now when i start the install using Yast i got the following error :-

Unresolved dependencies:

So do i have to install this provider or what ? Please let me knw and also the link to download if i have to do that.

Thanks

I'm no SuSe expert, but can't you install cvs from Yast?
Does Yast provide options to search for packages on the internet?
If it doesn't, do you have any package managers that do?

Maybe you can also have a look on the SuSe software LQ forum .
