Compiling C++ in SMESERVER
« on: August 05, 2008, 02:58:05 PM »
Hello guys,

Is there a contrib that will install all components needed to ensure platform compatibility in compiling C++ applications?  or is this already installed?

Any info will be appreciated.

No, not installed as SME Server is designed to be a server not a development machine. However, although not adviced as it is a security risk, you can install gcc, which is the linux c compiler and also compiles c++.

Recommended route - ie what I have done...

Install 'VirualBox' on your PC and then generate a SME server inside that... then after running your updates, do a 'yum install gcc'.

you can then play as much as you like...

Alternatively... install Madriva inside VirtualBox and then install the C editors and gcc for a GUI experiance...

Any Linux would do... if you want to compile for SME Server specifically you should install Centos 4.6 (when compiling for SME Server 7.3).
