Hi all, I'm new on this list and up until now I have been programming C++ exclusively on Windows platforms. Now, I find I want to learn how to the same on Linux. My head is currently swimming with loads of strange notions - I know next to nothing about UNIX but I'm slowly picking it up. Can anyone recommend some good (on-line) texts that cover migrating your programming skills from Windows to Linux? I'm sure loads of people have been doing this! I have the 2.8.1 distributuion of GCC (it was installed with Linux) and I can't figure out how to tell the compiler what default include/lib directories to use. I know how to provide, say, an include directory using the -I flag, but I want to set some defaults. For example, after copying the standard C++ library headers (such as <string>) onto the machine, gcc cannot find them unless I specifically use the -I flag. How does it know where to find the standard C header files? Is it okay to ask question this basic on this list? Best regards, Ben Miller Mercia Software Ltd.
