I have been doing c and c++ programming in windows with turbo c/c++ compiler , but now i have switched to ubuntu 11.04.
Could somebody help me doing c++ programming with linux terminal.
Thanx in advance.

Hey its very simple ya.
go to open vi editer or gediter in your terminal.

Then type c program in it and save with extension of .c
example: test.c

Then using gcc to compile it.
compile: gcc filename.c -o filename
run: ./filename

example:
compile: gcc test.c -o test
run: ./test

thats it.

u need to first install gcc to run c or c++ programme:-
to install gcc run this command:
$sudo apt-get install gcc

once gcc is installed check if it's working by running this command :
$gcc
if it shows no input file gcc is working.
than u can make a sample c programme:
$gedit test.c
enter this in test.c
#include<stdio.h>
void main()
{
printf("\nHello World!\n");
}
than save file and return to terminal
run to this command to compile c programme:
$gcc test.c
to make a output file run this command
$gcc test.c -o test
to execute compile programme run this:
./test

to compile c++ in linux you will have to install g++ only gcc will not be enough.
then to compile the program

Execute the program using

You can also use kdevelop (An IDE)

Hi, welcome to LQ!

Foremost you have to make sure you distinguish between C/C++ and
Borland features. We get so many inquiries here regarding such
and such feature not working in Linux, it's not even funny :}
