C++ programs

[EchoOnFedora]

I'm looking for some C++ to use on fedora, but can't seem to find any on search. I tried code-blocks, but I can't install, make files not working. So is there any other decent programming software around?

It would be helpful in your search if you knew what you were looking for.

C++ is a programming language.

Code::Blocks is an integrated development environment (IDE) - a fancy name for an editor that is customized to work with one or more programming languages and integrated with the compilers/debuggers necessary to run and troubleshoot the code.

gcc is the Gnu Compiler Collection which includes a C and C++ compiler among other things useful to programming.

Now, what are you looking for? Try Googling that and come back if you need more help.

Ahh yeah, should have been more informent. Yes, I am looking for a program to c++. Compile, debug, install. All that good stuff. Kdevelop doesn't seem to be working. And no one seems to use it at all. so no tutorials to see whats write or wrong. The stupid help for it does not help. So yes, i'm looking for IDE's for c++ programming

compile: google gcc/make
debug: google gdb
install: man install

these things all work, if its not working on your system you didn't install the right things or are missing stuff

as far as IDE's go, i believe code::blocks is the most commonly used, and I think kdevelop is also used quite extensively

i implore you to learn the old fashioned way first, as you will benefit greatly from this experience

IDEs that I know of are codeblocks, anjuta (gnome's IDE), kdevelope, eclipse (REALLY popular with java devs, but has a fantastic C/C++ IDE plugin, eclipse-cdt)

any of these can be installed by yum / the add remove programs .... program.

If you need more help with that, just ask.

First off, everyone seems to complain about kdevlops c++. I can't find any info except people turning others to other IDE programs. 2nd, yum doesnt work worth a crap for me. Don't know what the issue is. I'm on fedora, and I installed everything that it came with entirely. Didn't know anything about eclipes till your post meton_magis. But I did manage to get code::blocks installed. What changed I do not know. and installing rpms always says thread died Berkely something or another. and yum seems always be attached to python so half the time it can't be ran.

you should try to install Anjuta that use for cana c++ programing install as root user

yum install anjuta

Personally, I hate IDE's for just about any programming task. I'd rather use a good editor (I use nedit), makefiles, and a decent debugger (gdb is fine). A decent UI front-end for gdb is nice, but unnecessary. FWIW, the biggest issue with building code is not the IDE, but understading the problem you are solving, and designing it methodically and consistently so that coding it becomes a pretty straight-forward task. I have designed and built many major software systems over the years from application programming frameworks to servers to realtime embedded machine control systems to most of the TCP/IP protocol suite from the DDN white book specifications to message-passing middleware to parsers, compilers, interpreters, and code translators. I have yet to find an IDE that lets me be as efficient, and I have used many including a number of iterations of Visual Studio, Eclipse, JDeveloper, Lucid, etc.

For my money, the best programming productivity tool I have found is a really good UML modeling and design tool that provides both code generation and reverse engineering (convert code to model) capabilities. That is Sparx Enterprise Architect. It basically provides everything that IBM's Tau and Rational products provide, but at a small fraction of the cost. It allows me to design incredibly complex software systems and keep it all sorted out visually as well as semantically.

So, don't get hung up on IDE's. Focus on the requirements, structure, work/control-flow, data transformations, and event handling. That's where the value of a program is found.

what version of fedora are you using? yum should work perfectly fine unless your installation is messed up or are using an outdated/unsupported version

[EchoOnFedora]

I'm using Fedora 10
