c++ compiler for emacs
 

Alright! i went to google and searched in C++ compiler for this emacs program i have....I got one that says it will work on emacs and that it will work on linux. It has a ftp download ilnk there so i went to it ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan...win/gcc-2.95.2 and i looked at the install txt file and read most of that then downloaded the first 7 .gz files and i got them now and i am reading the install shiz and i am not getting this at all can someone help me out i wouldn't mind you explaining to me how i would get this c++ compiler working with my emacs program or even install it for that matter.....these tut's suck.....thanks in advance all!!!!

:confused: ..........:(

emacs is a gnu project
gcc is a gnu project compiler ad come with all dist why are u looking for another one

Let us know what distro you're using and put it in you
personal info thingy: -|
<-----------------------|
If you're using redhat,mandy or suse, you should search for the gcc rpm on the discs.
For slack: search the disc for gcc.something.tgz
For debian, simply apt-get install gcc
Then after installing do in emacs: tools -> compile

alrighty i got this thing to teach me how to do it and i was doing it and it was working and al the little things they said to look for were checking out and stuff but today when i was trying to compile the .wma plugin it said this error: installation or coniguration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables.
any idea what i did wrong....

C'mon, do you seriously think anyone can understand this?

sorry i didn't proof read that one... what i was doing was i found a tut on how to install the gcc-2.7.2.3.tar.gz and i unziped it then i ran some commands it said to and they were all doing fine then TODAY when i was trying to install a plugin for xmms i ran the ./configure command and i got this error "configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C++ compiler cannot create executables"

Like I said before, tell us what distro you're using, you don't have to compile a compiler, there are prepacked binaries for your distro available. But you have to tell us which distro you're running.

how do i know what distro i am running

If you're using redhat,mandy or suse, you should search for the gcc rpm on the discs.
rpm -ivh <rpmname>
that will install gcc on your system

k do you have aim would you mind if i talked to you on that?

Post your questions here, others can learn from it.
Everyone here will be glad to help you but you have to be more specific on your problem.
As far as I see your problem is that your RH doesn't have a compiler or the wrong one installed. So search for an rpm on your discs that begins with gcc and install it using rpm -ivh <rpmname>.
Then you'll have the correct compiler on your system and you can start compiling stuff

any tips on what the name might be i see the rpm's folder but ther is like 5 million files any names of a good one or soemthing?

cuz the names don't make any sense there is no way i would be able to tell if there was a compiler in here....

alright i found a gcc-objc- 3.2-7.i386.rpm and it was on the third cd what now
