Hi I am new to Ubuntu-mate. I have used Linux distro’s on full flegded pcs and laptops and prefer them over windows.
Now I am looking build a laptop using either PI2 or 3 and was planning to install compatible Linux so I can start learning programming my own time. And came across this distro for raspberry pi and couldnt find any details if any of the available Linux compilers work on this distro.
Can anyone confirm if any compilera work on this for c++ or c# (yes I know these of. Net langauges)but mono compiler for Linux supports c#
gcc is a compiler for many programs:
The GNU Compiler Collection includes front ends for C, C++, Objective-C, Fortran, Java, Ada, and Go
Most of the tools you'll need for compiling programs, like make are from build-essential package.
sudo apt install build-essential
You can get to grips with compiling software by getting the source code for an open source project, like compiling VLC, Audacity or GIMP.
On the other hand, Python and Bash (shell scripts) are quite common, but as they are interpreted languages, they do not have a compiler.
For C++ there is g++ compiler too.
