    totally depends on the distro of linux and i've no experience using your distro.

    most commonly it can be found with a right-click on the desktop i find.

    Though apparently it's File->Terminal, in the file browser.

    Sorry for digging up an old thread :D

    Recommendations for a c/c++ compiler for vista? Have visual c++ and bloodshed installed and bloodshed wont seem to run (but compiles fine) and visual studio seems not to like me either.

    I can't say for sure as I don't run Vista but I imagine the most current version of Visual Studio Express should run okay.

    Yeah I have it installed. It opens .cpp files I know that work fine. But doesn't seem to be an option to compile and run them? Like, the green "play" button is disabled. :o

    Make a C++ console application project then add that file to it.

    That's odd! Have you got a project and solution created for it? I don't have 2008 installed on this computer (it's running 2003) but I think it's the same scenario. You can't just create a file and run it, it needs a project.
