i.ve just installed the latest ubuntu linux 10.10 inside windows as a program. i want to know is it possible to use the terminal for c programming. If possible, how?
Also i've installed the Code Blocks IDE from the Ubuntu Software Centre. But the code is neither compiled nor run. How can i make Code Blocks work?

I personally don't know how to do c/++ programming in the terminal itself, but you can program with the gedit text editor (just remember to specify the file as .c/pp).

As for Code::Blocks not compiling, you might want to try installing the build-essential package. Command in the terminal would be:

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential

say yes to the question they ask and wait.
