Good C++ Compiler

**Krogen** · 10-12-2005

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a good C++ compiler for my Linux distro. I know there's gcc found in almost all distributions, but I'm looking for something that would have a nice, friendly GUI, something like Dev C++ for Windows.

Compiler GUI? What're you talking about? An IDE? You could try KDevelop and Emacs.

Kdevelop is good for starters. A good interface and its very easy to use.

EMacs is just for editing files. You will not get a built-in compiler by any means. I don't know of any C IDEs for Linux. Realize that people writing the software assume that if you are programming under Linux that you know how to set this stuff up yourself. This is true, just because Linux users are much more technical than Windows users.
Anyway, I don't know what's wrong with GCC. It's got lots of support and isn't really horribly difficult to use.

You might try Eclipse or Anjuta.

devC++ uses minigw32 wich is gcc for windows. Eclipse uses gcc as its compiler, all that eclipse does is provide a gui front end

All right, thanks guys...

Now... How do I make an executable for my compiled file? In Windows, after I compiled a file I had an .exe to launch it. Yes, I know there are no .exes in Linux! :P

NEVERMIND! Got it

Cool, though you might want to post how you got it.
IIRC you would just do 'g++ code.cpp'

edit the c file in vim or gedit, then run

Code:

#cc app.c -o app

replace the word app with the name of the aplication
