C++
 

there is a header file for the C language and im wondering on linux can i use it with the G++ compiler

I am not sure this will work because most C++ header files are in a sightly different format to C. I am not an expert programmer so I could be wrong. Can't you rewrite the header for C++?

A c header file should compile fine with g++. It's done in many programs that integrate both c components and c++ components.

I stand corrected :)
