Install C and C++ Compilers in Ubuntu
sudo aptitude install build-essential
This will install all the required packages for C and C++ compilers
Testing C and C++ Programs
Compiling Your first C Programs
Now you need to open first.c file
sudo gedit first.c
add the following lines save and exit the file
Firstly compile the code using the following command
cc -c first.c
that would produce an object file you may need to add to the library.
then create an executable using the following command
cc -o first first.c
Now run this executable using the following command
./first
Output should show as follows
Hello, world
Compiling your first C++ program
If you want to run c++ program follow this procedure
g++ is the compiler that you must use.
you should use a .cpp file extension rather than a .c one
You need to create a file
sudo gedit first.cpp
add the following lines save and exit the file
Run your C++ Program using the following command
g++ first.cpp -o test
./test
Output should show as follows
Hello World!

I am using Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala that I have downloaded from internet. When i try to install g++ compiler I got the following message:
The program ‘g++’ can be found in the following packages:
* g++
* pentium-builder
Try: sudo apt-get install
g++: command not found
I can not install this compiler, I have already tried the following commands:
sudo apt-get install g++
sudo apt-get install pentium-builder
sudo apt-get install build-essentials
and none of them worked, it always appears a message with something like, package not found.
Anybody can help me.
[Reply]
Note down the steps, the first step is to install updates through;
Update Manager;
Now type in the Terminal;
sudo apt-get install build-essential
NOTE: you spelt it as build-essentials, here s is not required in the end of the word build-essential.
It will automatically install g++

what the meaning of this problem… pleasa help me… huhuhu
what should i do..??
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo gedit first.cpp
user@ubuntu:~$ g++ first.cpp -o test
The program ‘g++’ can be found in the following packages:
* g++
* pentium-builder
Try: sudo apt-get install
bash: g++: command not found
user@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install g++
E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock – open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
user@ubuntu:~$
[Reply]
an other program or service is useing the update directory.
you can only have one program use the directory at once
so exit all other update/package managers/ installers
then try again

For all those who are not having working internet connection and want to install g++ on their computer,there is a way.
First put your ubuntu linux live cd in the cd-rom and close it.
Go to the synaptic package manager, and click add the cd-rom from one of the classical menus on the top. After u click that button, synaptic will add all the files of the cd and will ask you. Do you want to add another cd-rom. click no.
Now having the live cd in the cd-rom, go to synaptic package manager, click the search button and type g++ in it.
when g++ appears in the list, tick mark it and click the apply button. Now everything should go smoothly. Now go to terminal and click g++. you should get no input files. This means you have installed c++ compiler in your computer. Now compile programs as usual.
If the result is positive, reply me.
i will also tell how to install java,oracle,lamp(linux apache mysql php) and flex in your ubuntu linux.

[Reply]
If it gives a “g++ Can be found in …” message,you DIDNT follow the directions. It says aptitude not apt-get, I have KK and that worked. Prasanth: iostream.h should just be iostream.
[Reply]
Prasanth: you need stdio.h for getch().

“sudo gedit first.c” to open an editor!!
why are you opening an editor with root privilages and worse, put it into a tutorial for beginners.
didnt this work??
$> gedit first.c
Please dont misunderstand me, I do appreciate your putting a blog to help beginners but this is a glaring blunder and a very bad way to tell a beginner to start.
@venkatesh
you are trying to compile cpp file. In cpp, the standard libraries like iostream dont have a .h extension (unlike c). Try
#include
[Reply]
I installed g++ for compiling c++ program in ubuntu 9.10, but we get the following errors…..
program is
#include
main()
{
int i;
cout<>i;
cout<<"\n number is"<<i;
}
after compile

p1.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
p1.cpp:5: error: ‘cout’ was not declared in this scope

1. install gcc/g++
$>sudo apt-get install g++
$>sudo sudo aptitude install build-essential
2. write code using vim or gedit
/*——————-coba.cpp—————*/
#include
int main(){
int a,b;
a=10;
b=a*8;
cout<<"Belajar C++ : "<<b<g++ -c coba.cpp
coba.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
coba.cpp:8: error: ‘cout’ was not declared in this scope
coba.cpp:8: error: ‘endl’ was not declared in this scope
4. i’m try to using this “using namespace std;” to correct that problem, like this
/*——————-coba.cpp—————*/
#include
#include
using namespace std;
int main(){
int a,b;
a=10;
b=a*8;
cout<<"Belajar C++ : "<<b<g++ -c coba.cpp
6. build
$>g++ coba.cpp -o coba
$>./coba
Belajar C++ : 80
7. aha it’s work…
Have fun… {blepotan banget bahasa inggris-e anu genah ora teyeng koh xixixi)

I have installed Ubuntu 10.4 Lynx,
Please help me how to install Anjuta
[Reply]
Okay, I noticed one of the common problems. For those with the error “cout not declared”; it’s because you need to declare it (obviously). So after:
#include
go ahead and write:
using namespace std;
This basically tells the compiler to use basic library functions, “std”, from the standard library. Blah blah, there

Thanks!!! My first c/c++ program in ubuntu!!!! I want to learn more (only in linux). Please, give me more articles or tutorials in c/c++ for linux, i have downloaded an compiled Code:Blocks.
