Adding C++ etc. for compilation of programs.

I have a KDE 13.1 install on a 64 MB system. I am new to suse. I need to install whatever it takes to compile an application from source code. When I run ./configure the system can’t find c++.

Usually all the required programs for compilation etc. are included with Slackware…With Debian etc. you have to run
apt-get install build.essentials
(or something similar.)

So what is the magic formula for openSUSE? Hopefully there is a package that has all the needed programs.
I am unfamiliar with yAST and zypper but the latter seems to be simpler.

In YaST:
click on “View” and select “Patterns”, then mark the “C/C++ development” pattern for installation in the left list.

With zypper:

sudo zypper in -t pattern devel_C_C++

Hi John
I see you also posted in alt.os.linux.suse :wink:

You need to install patterns-openSUSE-devel_C_C++

You can do this via YaST or from the command line using zypper


zypper in patterns-openSUSE-devel_C_C++

If you prefer nntp, you can use it on the forum, just use
nntp.opensuse.org in your news reader.
