Slackware 12 - C / C++ ?

[rommeo]

Hi

i have installed slackware 12 few days ago. i m a newbie and i need to write some programs for my lectures, but i dont know how to do this on slackware.

What should i do to write and compile a c/c++ program ?
Is the program ready in Slackware or should i download and install something ?

This is the first time i m using slackware for code writing. i will be glad if you can help.
Thanx in advance.

I thought c/c++ was already included by default in Slackware. Should be there... Try from the command line:

c++ --help

In Slack you have almost all the dev packages installed, the packages are not splited, once you install a library in slack it comes with the headers.

use gcc for c and g++ for c++, let me know if you need more informations

Sorry for this late reply, i'm out these days.

gcc text.c -o text to compile
./text will execute it
