Is there something named binutils?

[thetillmiester]

I found it.. finally haha its was under gcc-c++

[thetillmiester]

I know a couple of weeks ago I posted about this, but I still havent had any luck getting it to work... Is there some where online were I can just download the compiler or is there another one I can use with linux?

[Juan Pablo]

What's the problem?

[thetillmiester]

I installed it but its doesn't show up anywhere.

[Juan Pablo]

You invoke it from the command line, there's no GUI.

for example

g++ helloworld.cpp -o helloworld

g++ is the default compiler in Linux, is the standar and in my opinion it's great

[thetillmiester]

How do I find out the code to invoke it. I'm not used to doing things without GUI where do I enter the code?

[Juan Pablo]

In a terminal like Konsole, gnome-terminal or xterm.

you write c++ code save it as yourfile.cpp (or whatever) then
g++ yourfile.cpp -o yourfile
