Jetbrains CLion [GCC链接]

Question

I have just install Jetbrains CLion IDE for C/C++ and it argues that it cannot find cmake compiler: I cannot find such tutorials on linking the compiler to the IDE even in the official website of Jetbrains. Also it says in the website that it supports gcc compiler and I do have that: I am really new in Linux world and it's very different than Windows(where I came from weeks ago) and I do really really want to use this IDE for my c++ programming, here is the CLions Toolchain settings: You can see that 'C++ Compiler: not found' in the Toolchains tab.

In the CMake tab this is what I have:

Answer 1

To turn my comment into a proper answer.

The problem is the missing g++ binary. In Debian based systems the different compiler front ends of gcc are packaged separately. Only gcc , the C compiler is installed by default.

So to use the C++ compiler ( g++ ), one needs to install it by hand, there is a package of the same name.

sudo apt-get install g++

Takes care of everything, so you have a working C++ environment.

Answer 2

You need to install the needed tools:

Run in Terminal:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make
sudo apt-get install g++

Then restart the IDE and everything should run like a charm!
