I was wondering if there was a c++ language program in ubuntus synaptic ?, one thats just ready to go, when you right a program it can compile it and give you a little tuturial if you needed it?.
The de-facto standard for C is gcc, and for C++ it's g++.
There are a number of IDE's, like anjuta, kdevelop, eclipse and many more. All of them use gcc/g++ to compile the code. I have no idea if they have tutorials in the same package.
The compiler and the basic tools are for sure. I think that they are called "build-essentials" or something like that, this should install gcc, g++, and some basic tools that you will need while building C/C++ programs, like autotools and the like. But about the name of the package, better ask to an Ubuntu user. I stay as far from Ubuntu as I can.
The rest of the packages that I mentioned, with the graphical frontends for gcc/g++, should also be available via synaptic or whatever package manager Ubuntu uses these days. But, as said, I am not Ubuntu user so I can't check.
