Welcome to the Linux Foundation Forum!
Books for C/C++ Development on Linux?
Hey everyone.
Lately I've been kind of intrigued by some of the stuff I've been hearing about Linux operating systems.
I personally have yet to install Linux on my box, but I have definitely been thinking about it.
My main interest in computers, however, is programming. So I would like an OS that I can be assured has IDE's for C/C++, and also a nice interface. Seems I'll have to buy some more books specific to Linux on C since there isn't a win api.
Any suggestions would be great.
I'll do some reading around here, but I just registered so thought some recommendations would be nice.

Looks appealing!
Also, I am changing the thread title to better assist you in getting references from seasoned developers.

I'm liking Fedora a lot more than windows vista.
As of right now I'm resizing my partitions so I have more space on my linux system.
So far everything's been going pretty smooth, just having some trouble with flash player.
I've tried re-installing it, and it says it's already installed, but I can't view videos on youtube or any flash files for that matter.
I went to the site to download it not too long ago, and it doesn't look like they have one for Fedora.
Can you just compile it from source and have it work for any linux-based operating system?
If so, how do you compile from source without an IDE already installed?
Instead of using code blocks im now using NetBeans, however, I would still like to use KOffice.
I installed the plugin for C++ on the NetBeans plugin installer, and it wont even compile with the basic headers.
Do I need to point to where my libraries are? Or is there another thing that I need to download for it to work?
What are the error?
You may also be able to install the other apps via yum.
and EXIT_SUCCESS would be part of the library that it's missing.
So basically I just need to know what i need to get to get C++ Fully working with net beans; Other than the plugins.
And thanks for the info on KOffice, there site was saying I must compile from source.. so yeah, didn't even try the to install from terminal
what exactly is yum btw?
I've used it for installing apps, but there all just from guides, so not totally sure what it's function is, or it's meaning anyways.
Now...LOL...your correct, there is no koffice package in fedora. I was surprised myself. You have to use:
yum install koffice-suite or, if you want just the word processor yum install koffice-kword.
If you search for koffice in PackageKit (Add/Remove Software) you'll see that the components of koffice can be installed separately, or, you can install them all with yum install koffice-suite.
Thanks again GoinEasy9 for stepping in and completing the information.
By using the package manager you should be able to avoid custom compiling most applications.
Already got it though :P
Still having trouble with net beans though.
I can do Java applications but I'm only interesting in C++ :O
Javas nice, just not my thing lol
