>>>/*please forward to appropriate people, I tried gnu@gnu.org twice and
it doesnt work.*/


I have a G3 Powerbook with OS 10.3, and I tried installing GCC on it.
I don't really know what I'm doing but I'm following instructions as much
as possible.
When trying to configure, I got

line 2332: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g  conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable cc to a working compiler.

I read in the archives that I need to install a pre-compiled binary of GCC.
However, I do not know where to find one.  I looked everywhere and the
closest I think I got was openpkg.com but I'm just lost there.
Please please help.
I'm desperate.  I need to be able to program again!
Thanks
Andre

Hi Andre,

Prebuilt GCC is available (downloadable) through Apple's Developer Tools.

You have, most likely, downloaded the *nix-targetted version[1]. Given the 
fact that you are looking for an *.exe, I think what you need is this[2]. 
Also, read this[3] too. :)

When I was starting up with C++ I found that using an IDE that has
automatic makefile handling was very very useful.

Consider giving these guys a try:

Eclipse CDT:
http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/

DEVC++:
http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html

They have a lot of fancy things that should help you get started.
Personally I use Eclipse.

Good luck!

[Fred Butler]

Hi,

I am running Solaris 8 and I hace gcc-3.0.3 and binutils-2.11.2 installed.
I am trying to compile a simple program:

#include<iostream.h>
main()
{
int a,b,c;
cout << "Enter two integers:\n";
cin >> a,b;
c = a + b;
cout << "This is the answer to the two numbers: " << c << '\n';
return 0;
}

When I do so I get the following list of errors. I am not sure where to go
from
Here. Can someone lend me a hand?

Regards,
Fred Butler

GCC help

[Jason Tang]

Hi, I am a complete green horn about using GCC.
I have no idea where to begin to even start writing programs in c++.
How do I get to the screen where I actually write the program?

Appreciate any help I get.
Thanks!

Well, with only GCC, you don't.
GCC is just the compiler. To write the program, you need and editor.
Wich one to use, it's mainly a matter of taste...
Supposing you're using Linux......you may try with emacs (quite big and 
complicated), VIM (at least awkward at the beginning), etc...
I prefer nedit - simple and easy to use.
The main line are:
1) You write a program using the editor.
2) You save the program (say, "test.c")
3) You compile it (ie.
gcc -o test test.c

4) It doesn't work :-)
5) You return to the editor, find what you did wrong, and try again...

If, on the other hand, you're looking for and IDE (Integrated Development 
Environment), like Microsoft Dev Studio, you might have a look at GNOME or 
KDE projects - I think KDevelop integrates with GCC quite nicely.

To learn to program in C++, you'll need a good book. Have a look at 
http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/ThinkingInCPP2e.html.

I hope to have been helpfull,
fwyzard
