That's the ORIGINAL codeblocks. To get the latest and greatest, you need to acquire a "nightly build" for your OS. The Linux builds tend to lag behind the windows builds a bit, but maybe just a week.

These builds are bug fixes and updates. i've found them to be very stable...at least for what I'm doing...
I found it to be a very intuitive IDE.

Re: problem compiling with Eclipse for linux

It defaults to building your program when you save a file in the project. Once you've done that you select the executable to run it.

If you have a source folder and a source file under that folder with a main() function, it will build when you save the file.

Eclipse works quite well. You'll have to learn to use any program you try. Since you have eclipse and it works well, I would recommend you fix your problem with it.

Did you try what I suggested before by creating a source folder?

Try a GENERIC linux build. It should work fine.
I have Fedora, so I can use the RPMs, which are easy.
I think Ubuntu was built on debian? They may have some kind of package system as well. However, i found that it's not nearly as well supported as the Redhat/fedora flavors. That's why I use fedora. Redhat/fedora also has YUM,
which is an update manager that does a very good job of resloving dependencies for complex packages.

Code::blocks should wok OK as a stand-alone install. Do you know haow to use tar?

Re: problem compiling with Eclipse for linux

I don't have the program on this computer but I'll try to explain exactly what you need to do to create a simple program:

Start Eclipse
File->New->Create a managed C++ project
Right click on the project name in the left panel and go to new and create a new source folder. Name the folder src.
Right click on the source folder and create a new source file. End the file with .cpp.
In that source file, create a simple program with a main() function.
Save the file and Eclipse should automatically build the project.
A dialog window should come up and ask you something about a profile. You can create a new one and point it to the executable with the same name as the source file that you create but without .cpp.

You should try Ubuntu again if that's your opinion. Nothing wrong with Fedora but Ubuntu has excellent support. apt-get is the default package manager.

Re: problem compiling with Eclipse for linux

PROBLEM SOLVED

the problem was with the g++ version I had installed...I reinstalled it and voila! it started working.

thank you all for your kind help...I guess I'll be around here a lot more now as I'm a total beginner in this language and you seem all very helpful
