How to compile c and c++ codes in linux lite ??
Why are you compiling?  I use synaptic package manager (system -> install/remove software) to install gcc and g++.

Hello!

Why do people still compile C/C++? Some folks just thrive on the challenge, I suppose...

You can program something yourself for instance. And compile.
And sometimes you want something which is only in 'source-code'.
I know a distro where the packers demand source when you make a request for some program in the repository. Wink That's an important factor of Open Software. The source is always available if you insist.
