hi guys,

I am trying to install GloMoSim onto my linux Redhat-7.2 (Enigma) machine. I am using 2.4.30 kernel. Unfortunately it was unsuccessful because of my linux didn't recognize g++ command. Is it different between gcc and g++? Where can i get g++ source code? Any ideas guys?

In short, g++ is a compiler for CPLUS PLUS, and AFIK, gcc compiler is capable of compiling C and C++ programs. I dont know the core difference.
The following link gives you the details from where you could download, read documents, etc....

Secondly, for a small tutorial, (from a university or college) you can check,

Enjoy!

GCC is the GNU Compiler Collection. The command to run the C compiler is gcc, the command to run the c++ compiler is g++. That's the difference.

If you want to be super technical about it, g++ is really just a wrapper for gcc.

"g++" is equivelent to "gcc -lstdc++". gcc can and will automatically detect the code you have is C++ code, but without linking in the libstdc++ library you can't use the base C++ functionality (like the string header for instance). The "g++" executable just automatically includes libstdc++ so you don't have to type out the -lstdc++ part each time.

That being said... I've definitely coded c++ in embedded environments where you have to use gcc and not c++ because you have to use a special cut down version of libstdc++ so you don't want your compiler to automatically link the full version in.

Eitherway... you probably need to install the gcc-g++ package or the stdc++ package for your distribution.

hi guys,

i've already solved my problem.. I've found "gcc-g++" rpm package in my disc 2 redhat-7.2 installation cd. Now I am successfully run mu GloMoSim. Thanks guys....
