C programming

Asked by Kenneth Koh

My laptop is a dual-boot setup.On my Windows 7 Ultimate I somehow can't install the Microsoft Visual Studios Professional Edition (2005) (the setup.exe keep failing for some reason).Is there any program that can do C programming in Ubuntu Linux?

sure, if you install build-essential you will get an ANSI standard C and C++ compiler. You can install anjuta if you like a GUI based coding environment.

screw that hunk of junk, open a terminal and run:

sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install build-essential anjuta

And you will have it
