Any good freeware for writing in the C programming language in Linux?

Linux normally includes the gcc (GNU Compiler Collection) It also has the usual utilities including make, yacc, version control utilities and such.


If you are looking for an IDE try EClipse


http://www.eclipse.org


Unlike Windows where compilers cost an arm and two legs, the ability for the end user to program is considered an important part of the OS and excellent compilers are free.

I think it has that ability built-in.
Reply:Besides gEdit and vim you can get a pretty IDE for c/c++ with NetBeans or Eclipse. I prefer the NetBeans. You have to add the packet for the c/c++, the syntax highlighting, indentation, and brace-checking is worth it. On your Linux distro you should have downloaded the C libraries called "build-essential". Some distros have the libraries already included.
Reply:Take a look at http://www.nextdawn.nl for tutorials on C and C++. Also there is a page about compilers (windows and linux)





For linux you can use GCC

Reply:I presume you are looking for a development environment? You might check out Code::Blocks. It's an integrated development environment that runs on both Windows and Linux and it's free. Check the nightly updates for the latest linux versions.

There is a tutorial there on how to set up and compile a basic project using Code::Blocks.
