I know linux. I just didn't know how to install Ultimate++ in it. I use Arch to learn more about Linux.

Sorry, I didn't mean to implly that you don't know it. I was just suggesting a more user friendlly distro with larger user base.

But if you want to really go in depth with Linux, I guess Arch is a very good candidate offering a nice balance of manual configuration and maybe possibly frustration Smile

GCC is GNU collection of compilers... it's far from complete build toolchain. (there's a reason why it is called "tool chain" after all)
Compiler is very very important part of building process, but also quite small part of it anyway.

The meta-package "build-essentials" on *Ubuntu was one of those points which made me very enthusiastic and happy about Kubuntu. I really fell in love for the 1 step process of turning my freshly installed user desktop OS into environment ready to produce SW. Since than I found also many things which make me sad, but still in overall I like it a lot.

Well, here is some info regarding build-essential: link. It is Ubuntu specific, but could point you in the right direction of what packages to download. You need the dev packages of you basic C/C++ library functions + glib-dev + gtk-dev (If you want skinning). Sorry that I can't give you more specific info, because I usually just tick a checkbox or two in setup, and have an almost fully functional build machine.
