what's the closest thing to Bloodshed on Ubuntu

[raymond1234]

Hello All,

I just recently started learning c on win xp using the bloodshed ide and complier, but something happened I got infected with a trojan or something. Instead of trying to fix it I decided to stop the problem at the source and just use linux.

I am using unbuntu linux and it is really good almost perfect so far everything works for me almost out of the box i am happy and don't want to ever go back to xp never. How ever I am a little lost things were so easy compiling my c programs with xp and bloodshed is there a similar alternative in the Linux realm.

like all I want to do is open my ide make a new file from source code click run and it makes an executable file for me.

What's the easiest way to write and compile a hello world c program in Linux?

Thanks again here later!

Not that I really want to discourage you from using IDEs -- OK so I do -- but since you're getting into Linux, I would suggest working from the command line a little bit more.

You should already have GCC or some other C compiler on there. A glorified text editor should complete your main necessary set of tools, and you can write simple one-file programs.

Do you not have anti-virus sofware?

I do but I went to a web page and I think the webpage installed some kind of active x program with out my permission a worm or something and my antvirus was not able to detect the worm

Don't use Internet Explorer.

If you have KDE installed, there's KDevelop.

Moved to Tech Board: IDE choice question.

You could also try Anjuta, in view that Gnome is the desktop environment that comes with Ubuntu.

On the other hand, gcc is definitely installed on your system, so I would also recommend using it on the command line with a text editor, say gedit which should already be installed.

You could also check out a favourite IDE thread on Ubuntu forums.

you could quite simply open a ternimal, navagate to the folder containing the source, then just gcc -Wall -ansi -o file file.c it to compile and create an execution file. The simplest and most common is the vi editor in linux or it's predeccessor vim. Alternatively you could use another editor like nano or a simple text editor like gedit. Other apps like Kate and Geany have extra features, I like Geany, it has hot-keys to compile and build and then run the progam and it is easy to debug by finding the erronenous line by selecting each error output. It also alows for multiple open progams in tabs and with a left panel list of all functions/typdefs etc in each program. anyways, there all free, just try them out and you'll find one of yer liking. Oh and btw, you need libc6dev i think the develope in C, the kernel headers should be automatically selected as a dependancy. The man pages and dev man pages are also of great resource for the noob.. have fun!

I think you meant successor or clone

On Fedora, the default is Gnome, but you can have KDE installed simultaneously. Is Ubuntu the same, or is Kubuntu mutually exclusive with it?

Just default for Ubuntu, of course.
