Hi at all Linux Freeks out there! I''m new in the world of Linux. And so I''m searching for a good c++ compiler for it. Something like VC++ would be nice. I heard something about g++. Is this good? Could you probably give me some links were there are some good news? I have allready a java-compiler from sun for it. ok i hope you can help me to start some cool stuff for a cool new virtual-world.

you probably have either g++ or gcc (or both) pre-installed with Linux so...happy coding

g++ comes preinstalled with Linux, it is good. It is the de-facto standard *NIX compiler nowadays... go to gcc.gnu.org

Depending on what you installed, you may use KDevelop as your IDE, or emacs or vi or nano as your editor.

Note: the lates release of the g++ suite also handles Java (along with C, C++, Fortran 77 and Objective-C)

If you are searchibng for an like MSVC++ then you probably would like KDevelop as fruny said. But search www.freshmeat.net (don''t know the syntax here)
for ide''s. There is one for gnome b i cant remember it''s name. Or learn to use tha make program to write Makefiles and use emacs with various settings for your favourite language

good luck...we have to make the linux game community alot bigger

The IDE for GNOME/GTK+ is called Anjuta. Personally, I prefer it to KDevelop. http://anjuta.sourceforge.net, I think.

In reality, I don''t even use IDE''s that much anymore. I prefer editing code with NEdit and then using makefiles.

g++ is a pretty good compiler to use and it comes bundled with all distros.( Not like some OS we won''t mention ). FYI: "vi" is your friend, learn it and use it( it''s on all Linux/Unix versions also ).

If you''re new to the world of Unix-likes and are used to IDEs like MSVC++, then vi is going to be your worst enemy.

Return to the Shadows

vi is like having to know how to program, before you can start entering text.

Not only that, but read the man pages first... the funniest thing in the world is watching the newb trying to figure out how to exit (once they realize they can''t figure out how to enter text) and they never even get to not being able to figure out how to save!

*grin*

i do love vi though

Last I checked, running vi without a filename on the command line gives you a default document that says: "Type :h" to learn vi.

And if you think vi is bad, try emacs.

Here is a web address that has links to several editors. Go to the bottom of the page. Good luck, I just started with Linux and have been using KDevelope and so far it is great. Good luck.
