Hello I am a fairly new to linux i can run it pretty good but i cant seem to do much on the programming side of things. In windows I can do it just fine. I was wondering if there are some good tutorials on using command line to wrote code and compile code for C++ not C. I have done several searchs on the site and cant seem to find the information that i need. Any help would be great.

Thanx

Well ... do you need to learn how to drive the compiler,
how to program C++ outside a windowed environment
or what? What have you used/done in Windows?

Well i have microsoft visual c++ for my programming things. But i was wanting to use emacs and compile from commandline useing gcc. I was wanting to see some tutorials on how to use gcc and compile c++ files while in command line cuz i am not useing x at all.

Have you read the man-page for gcc?
There isn't really much to it, for more complex
usage have a look at make-files of other projects.

The most basic use would be:
g++ <c++-file> -o <out-put-file>

reading man pages is an art, tutorials are usually better. . .
