    gcc/g++ or VisualAge C++ http://www-306.ibm.com/software/awdtools/vacpp/ Last time I wrote for unix I did most of my development on a windows box using Visual Studio and ftp'd the files to the unix box and compiled with g++. It was all a non gui backend processing app so I just stayed with standard C++, templates and all that jazz. No issues at all.

    Thanks for that, did you use an STL or boost?, if STL which one? Phil Harding.

        I realise that I may be hung drawn and quartered for this one ;), but does anyone have any recomendations for a C++ compiler/Dev env that will work on Unix (Sun) and/or Linux (Mepis)? Fortuneatly/Unfortuneatly I have a project from my client to write a cross platform/portable database application for Windows and Unix, I mentioned that I'd never developed for Unix before, and he confidently replied that he was sure I'd manage :doh: hey ho Phil Harding.

          I used STL. Just trying to remember which one... I think it was STLPort. http://www.stlport.org/

            I just download Sun Studio 11[^] from Sun's web site. It handles C, C++, and believe it or not...Fortran. It's now free as well. I haven't had time to install it yet. Oh...supported Unix/Linux versions are Solaris 8, 9, and 10, SuSE ES 9, and Red Hat ES 4. Regards, Brigg Thorp Senior Software Engineer Timex Corporation

                  I used DTL in one project and have mixed feelings about it. Just too many compiler warnings :suss:

                    For Unix/Linux develoment, I simply use gvim and g++, although some people recommend Code::Blocks[^] as well.

                      Yeah, I had some nasty concurrency problems in an early version, SQL being executed out of order when using a supposedly thread safe object. Still I've never found anything comparable for C++, and it is a big timesaver, as well as enabling some elegant DB code. Ryan

                            I've never had to do a cross-platform job, but if I did, I'd check to see if MainSoft[^] was had the tools I needed. John

                              I realize you've had many answers to your question, so I thought I'd throw my 'hat' into the ring. I did a small crossplatform program that was used on Windows and Linux (Mandrake). I downloaded Dev C++[^], installed several different frameworks, and ended up using wxWidgets[^] (formally wxWindows). In less than an hour, I had the entire IDE, compiler and framework installed, a small test application developed and ported between the two systems. If I had to do this again, I would go exactly that same route.

                                I know, you asked for C++, but since someone already suggested Java... From the Churchdown Parish Magazine: "Would the Congregation please note that the bowl at the back of the Church, labelled 'For The Sick,' is for monetary donations only."
