How to Install C++ Compiler on Linux?
There are several alternatives for compiling C++ on Linux. Let's look at 2 of them −
GCC
Almost all Linux distros come with GCC installed. Check whether GCC is installed on your system by entering the following command from the command line −
$ g++ -v
If you have installed GCC, then it should print a message such as the following −
Using built-in specs. Target: i386-redhat-linux Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr ....... Thread model: posix gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)
If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install it yourself using the detailed instructions available at https://gcc.gnu.org/install/.
clang
Clang is a compiler developed by LLVM. You can install it using a freely available script on https://github.com/rsmmr/install-clang. You can find the docs for it there. If not, you can download the prebuilt binary from http://releases.llvm.org/download.html and install it by following the install instructions.
