How to participate in the C++ module with a Linux machine?
- NB! We expect Linux users to have some familiarity with their operating system. You should know what the package system of your Linux version is (apt, yum, emerge, etc.). Some Linux variants have graphical environments like Synaptic etc.
- Compiler
- You need a system C++ compiler. Since we want to use C++11 capabilities in the subject, it should be recommended to have at least GCC 4.7 or clang 3.2.
- Most likely you have gcc on your system. Try g++ -v. If it says the compiler version is older than 4.7 (unlikely), find out how to upgrade.
- If you want to use an alternative compiler, install clang/clang++ (version 3.2 or later).
- clang can help find more warnings and can provide more helpful error messages, but newer versions of g++ are equivalent.
- make
- It is most likely present on the system. Try 'make -v'.
- Doxygen
- Install a package called doxygen via the package system of your computer.
- Test command 'doxygen'
