Hello Alliedmodders!

Today i installed that:
https://www.virtualbox.org/

and after that i installed linux Ubuntu.
since i have never coded in linux i did some research to find the best c++ editing+compiler tool and
i found codeblocks:http://www.codeblocks.org/downloads/binaries#linux64
It appears that it isin't available for ubuntu, i tried to install the first one
( the one with that red cycly icon )

Like always i had no idea what i was doing. I extracted the package and opened first file.
Yet again i had no idea what happened but i found the word Error.


I first thought that the linux is linux but it turns out there are many linux'es.
so basically if i compile program in on linux ( Ubuntu ) then i cant run it on the other one for example :
Debian?

What are those things anyways?
Why is the linux world so strange, in windows we have windows xp -> windows 8
windows xp programs should work in windows 8, 7 and etc...

Please someone clear out things for me what i dont understand.

What is Ubuntu and those other types of linux'es
what differences there are when it comes to coding?

Basically im writing a functions what will run fine both in linux and windows.
some functions are different like for example a way of getting app path what is correctly running.

I dont want to use libraries what already exists and are across the platform because they will add more confusion and perhaps for me
it will be hard to compile binaries when im using stuff i haven't written. It is also hard to get use to new things.
I dont like that, i better create my own what i do understand.

Thanks!

And i heard he was quiting all of this. Now i start to think that he just wanted to say that he got to an "unreachable stage"

Maybe he is not coding for CS.
To fix your error, open a terminal and type: apt-get install WHATEVERPACKETISSHOWN
That should work in the most cases, otherwise :

Just wondering why am i posting here at all.

I already gave you a possible solution, did you try it?

Why doesn't debian apps work in ubuntu?

I already found that they have been made from different company but still what did they change there so apps dont work, that i cannot find.

The code::blocks is a really small problem.
The problem is understand what is going on exactly.
