The next section of the article is optional. This code works only with a C++17 capable compiler: 1 #include 2 3 int main () Īssuming that you’ve saved the above code in a file named test_bindings.cpp, this is how you can compile it: 1 g++-7 -std=c++17 test_bindings.cpp -o test_bindings Here is a simple example of using structured bindings with an array. If you want to use the latest and greatest C++17, use the -std=c++17 compiler flag. So, use g++-7 !Īnother observation is that g++-7 uses the C++14 standard by default. Please note that if you use g++ instead of g++-7, you will revert to using GCC 5 which is the default compiler on Ubuntu 16.04. For example, assuming that you have a file named hello.cpp, this is how you generate an executable: 1 g++-7 hello.cpp -o helloĪs usual, you can run the executable with: 1. A quick check to see if everything is OK, is to print the version informations: 1 g++-7 -version The easiest path is to use an Ubuntu PPA: 1 sudo apt install software-properties-common 2 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.2 3 sudo apt update 4 sudo apt upgrade 5 sudo apt install gcc-7 g++-7Īt this point, you should have GCC 7 on your Chromebook. If you need an example, check my previous article.įirst, let’s install the default development environment from Ubuntu 16.04 with: 1 sudo apt install build-essential My suggestion is to use the LXDE approach, unless you are Linux veteran and prefer to do your development from command line only.Īs a side note, I don’t advise using Chromebrew for installing GCC, because you will end up with GCC 4.9, which is older than the version included by default in the Ubuntu version installed by Crouton.Īssuming that you have Ubuntu 16.04 installed through Crouton, open a shell tab.

If you want to be able to use a modern C++, like the one included with GCC 7, I suggest you to install Crouton using a CLI only install or using the LXDE desktop environment. Please make sure that you have Developer Mode enabled. In this article, from my Two weeks programming on a Chromebook challenge, I will show you how to install locally a modern C++ development environment on your Chromebook.
