Hello, for slackware users, i currently use slackware 13, you may install Code::Blocks from here http://slackbuilds.org/repository/13.0/development/codeblocks/ and dependences from slackbuilds.org too. Geany (Recommended) is simple but fast for short examples, you can download from slackbuilds.org. I dont recommend Bloodshed DEV-c++ for windows is too old instead you can use wxDev-C++ download here http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net. Bye

For the very beginning, to test simple code, I would also recommend Geany editor. It runs under Win and Linux. It’s got an in-built terminal. I use it for scripting and testing my scripts in PHP and Perl under Linux.

Write some code, hit F8 (compile) then F9 (build) and then F5 (execute). In two seconds you can see your output in the terminal. Change your code and hit the function keys again. In a minute you can test your code a couple of times.

Linux users have to install g++

Of course, install Code::Blocks under Linux too :-)

The line numbering is turned on exactly the same way in the 2008 version.

Thanks for a great tutorial. At last, a tutorial that treats you like a beginner not an idiot.

I’m having trouble with the installation.
After the downloading has finished & has reached halfway installing “.net framework 3.5″, it just stops installing any further. It just stays on that place.
Plz help.

Does Visual 2008 work on Vista, because it won’t open
