Compiling On Ubuntu Server

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 451 / 2 Years ago, fri, april 15, 2022, 3:00:52

Is it possible to compile on on ubuntu server using vim and g++? and possibly uploading those files onto your ubuntu desktop using ubuntu one? I have an old mac laptop I want to use for my programming only, it is pretty old so i would rather run a cmd on it rather than an entire OS. Or if anyone has other suggestions that would be great as well, this is just a mobile lap top that i carry with me and would be great if i can upload all the work on it to my main machine.

From the build-essential package contents, taken from http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/build-essential,
the package build-essential contains the following:

dpkg-dev (>= 1.13.5)
Debian package development tools

g++ (>= 4:4.4.3)
GNU C++ compiler (This is what you want for C++ compilations)

gcc (>= 4:4.4.3)
GNU C compiler

libc6-dev
Embedded GNU C Library: Development Libraries and Header Files
or libc-dev
virtual package provided by libc6-dev

make
An utility for Directing compilation.

By installing this package you will be able to use the GNU C and C++ compilers. So nothing can stop you from compiling code.

Note that there is a packaged version of build-essentials for every Ubuntu version.

Vim does not depends of UI components and runs using the terminal window.

As for other lightweight recommendations for an old machine, it depends of the specs of the machine.

You can check the following window managers - desktop environments if meet your requirements:

LXDE‎

Xfce

Fluxbox

IceWM
