Which packet to install for programming C/C++
 

Hello!

May sombody be so kind to tell me:

A want to write a programm in C or C++. Which packet do I have to install for a development-environment? Which is mandatory, which is useless?

I'm runnig SUSE 9.1.

Thanks for your reply.

first and foremost you need gcc, which is the c compiler. also glibc which are the c libraries. g++ is the c++ compiler based on gcc. if you use a package manager, you can find most of what you need under "development." they usually have a description of what each package is.

hope this helps.

Try VIM.

If you want a more graphical environment, try KDevelop

sorry, just noticed you were looking for a programming environment . i use emacs and vim, though pico is quite easy if you are looking for that. note that these are simply text editors and are not similar to visual studio or anything. let me know if that's what you are looking for and i can make some suggestions.

If you want a gui based enviroment, try Kdevelop. It has nice features, including, allowing you to use many different languages. -So if you would want to branch off into other styles of programming you would not need different programs.

Hope that helps..

Thank you all for the fast response. I'm sure this will help.
