Troye. sexy brittany spears The excellent C/C++ compiler gcc is part of FreeBSD. FreeBSD itself is written in C, so you can expect excellent support :). If you mean by "graphic functions" the equivalent of Microsoft's MFC classes to write GUIs, you can have a look at gnome/gtk+ (for C) or kde/qt (for C++). If you mean an IDE, glade and kdevelop can be quite useful. FreeBSD supports a lot of additional programming languages if you install their compilers or interpreters via the ports system. Have a look at /usr/ports/lang for a huge list! http://www.freshports.org/lang/ Please browse the documentation on FreeBSD's website: http://www.freebsd.org/docs.html An introduction for newbies: http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html The FreeBSD Handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html The Developer's Handbook (Chapter 2 is what you want): http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/index.html Happy hacking :-) Cheers, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
