anyone know a good compiler that works well on pi,

[scruss]

Code: Select all

sudo apt install build-essential

will install GCC. It's not quite the most recent version, but it'll get you going

For which language?

Stewart has given you C/C++

[jahboater]

You didn't say what operating system, but the official and recommended OS is Raspbian.
https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/raspbian/
Both versions of Raspbian (the full one, and the Lite one) include a C/C++ compiler ready installed, which is GCC 4.9.
There is no need to install anything, just use it.

When you read the forum using search.php?search_id=unreadposts it's not obvious (due to the bits that are missing in the Raspite there).

Yes, my thoughts exactly. Most people read via the "unread posts" avenue, which ignores sub-forums. You have to look carefully at the bottom of the screen to see which forum the post is in. The whole concept of sub-forums is moot here anyway (for, among other reasons, the fact that there are too many of them).

But what really surprises me is that Dougie uses "Raspite". I thought all the cool people pooh pooh Raspite and they all use the other one.

If you want to continue to make a fool of yourself carry on ....

I'm with Dougie - when I read the post, the part of forum its in doesn't leap out at me

And its a rarity that it matters - most requests for help don't normally rely on the forum section to be pertinent

Well then you need to learn to look for it ! While not everyone manages to put their posts in the right sub-forum, the vast majority do go to the trouble to get it right. When they've gone to the trouble to get it right yoy should go to the trouble to look where it is before posting questions !

The forum section sets the context, without which people post silly questions and answers !

There's a whole raft of stuff missing in Raspite (specifically the breadcrumbs), but I use Raspite because Prosilver is just too ugly for words.

Back on topic!

There is also clang/llvm. Unlike GCC it does need to be installed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt install clang

Both clang and GCC are very good compilers.
