C++ freeware

[mafondue]

Hi! i want to start looking at programming in C in Linux and i was wondering if there is a C (C++) freeware compiler i can download.

I am using Red Hat 7.2 and i am really a newbie

Thank you in advance

Isn't that what gcc is? I don't run Red Hat, but I'm sure you have gcc and g++. Read the man pages to learn extra options for them, but basically gcc myprogram.c will compile a binary for you.

yes, gcc is the compiler, you should either have it installed or on a RedHat CD. To begin with you would probably want an IDE to edit, run, debug and stuff. Try kdevelop (part of KDE) or Anjuta then later you can learn about Makefiles and try out different editors.

Well, you are probably going to want an IDE too (makes programming a lot easier). So, check out KDevelop if you are on KDE or Anjuta if you are on gnome.
