Downloading a g++ Compiler

WIndows

Here are Prof. Carl Sturtivant's instructions for downloading a Linux system to a Windows computer.  A successful download will permit you to execute g++ programs. 

**** Note:  The instructions for installing the Cygwin compiler need to be updated to reflect the latest version of Cygwin.  There are no X11 files to install anymore.  When you get to that place in the online instructions, instead of X11 files you should be able to select gcc, g++, emacs, and nano (an editor like pico).  If the installation succeeds there will be an icon for Cygwin on your desktop that opens a Unix window.  Things should work as in the 2-120 lab except that the default executable is named a.exe instead of a.out and you may need to use ./a.exe to execute it.  Also, if emacs doesn't work try xemacs. *****

The Bloodshed system (http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html) has also been recommend by several students.

Macintosh

If you have a Macintosh, g++ can be made available by installing the Xcode system that is on the CD-ROM that comes with the computer.  To run the program use

% ./a.out

where % represents the UNIX prompt.
