zypper is the command line tool for installing packages. It is installed by default. If you run the command I gave as root, it will install the compiler for both c and c++ for you, along with the other packages you need for compiling things
If you want a GUI way of installing, you can start yast (also known as "administrator settings" in the menu) and go to "software management", and search for gcc. This will show you all packages connected with the compiler. Select "gcc" and "gcc-c++"
Gather you purchased the opensuse 11.1 dvd? Or did you obtain them online? As well are you working with a 64 bit machine? I am working with a 32bit machine presently.
- The same set of software is available for both 32 and 64 bits; it does not matter. - Both the C and C++ compilers (and more), both for 64 or 32 bits, are included in the distro, but not in the CDs for lack of space. - Zypper is installed by default, but it needs internet in order to access the repositories where it can download whatever is not included in the CD or DVD. - If you installed from CD, you need network for Yast to be able to download and install anything else you need. - The downloaded DVD has much more than the CD. The compiler is included. Even so, there are things not there. - The purchased DVD, which is double-layer, contains more than the downloaded DVD. Even so, there are things not there. - Only the sum of the OSS and Non-OSS repositories (internet) are "complete". Even so, there are things not there: there are things you have to get from the buildservice, or from other sites (like some multimedia things). Again, even so, there are things not there that you have to compile yourself. - If your machines do not have Internet, then you have to provide some repositories yourself. You can use the DVD, but not everything is there. Or you can use an external HD on USB, or another machine serving via http or ftp locally. Neither of those solutions is automated, you have to engineer them yourself. Ask here, read the archive, read the wiki, some questions have been asked before. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
