Ubuntu

compiler availability and desk top interface

Asked by David Thewlis

I want to do some fun mathematics so need a C++ compiler with an easy to use interface with a desk top, both with C++ and the programs I write. Does Ubuntu provide this or where is the best place to go to get it?

I haven't used it (I code in Java), but you may use Anjuta as an interface.

To install a C/C++ compiler, install package "build-essentials".

To install Anjuta, I've found this instuctions on the web:
   1. Add deb http://anjuta.org/apt ./ in your /etc/apt/sources.list
   2. Create a file called /etc/apt/preferences and enter the following: Package: anjuta
      Pin: version 2.*
      Pin-Priority: 990

      Package: anjuta-common
      Pin: version 2.*
      Pin-Priority: 990

      Package: anjuta-dev
      Pin: version 2.*
      Pin-Priority: 990
   3. sudo apt-get update
   4. sudo apt-get install anjuta
      (anjuta-dev, if you want to write anjuta plugins)

Compiler just translates code into machine readable format, g++ is a good choice here.
For development environment i would suggest Eclipse or KDevelop (both are in the universe repository, same as anjuta).

Can you help with this problem?
