How can I find out what C++ compilers are available on my system?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

What system are you using ? Try to write cc and check the results...

It should be System V Release 4......its on a school computer, maybe solaris I think.

So I just type cc and it tells me?

I would rather suggest you to see the man page for cc. It can guide you what compiler cc is

also try c++ or CC (upper case)

just typing cc will certainly not tell you which compiler it is, but you will know if your system atleast has a cc (if the path is right)

just would like to know, why do you want to know what compilers are there.

I'm sure that I have cc (and gcc) on there, but I just wanted to know if I had other C++ compilers on there as well, outside of gcc. I just wanted to know how I could find out on my computer if these other compiler programs existed on my computer or not.

Is there some sort of command line thing I can do to find out?

Bump (to the top of the list)

please do not 'bump' up threads. if you read the rules you will see that this is not allowed.

if you have gcc (which includes g++) that is all you need to compile c++ and c code.
