Hello,
I need help on using the 2014 WPILIB FRC c++ library on ubuntu without having to install Windriver C++ as it only works on Windows systems. I know I won't be able to deploy the code, I would like it to just compile on my computer. Any help would be appreciated.
Also I'm using Code::Blocks as my IDE on Ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks, John

It's been a while since I've used it, but there was a project to create a cross-platform GCC 4.8-based C++11 toolchain for FRC. These links should help you get started: http://firstforge.wpi.edu/sf/projects/c--11_toochain, http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109385

I know it's not exactly C++, but the Java version of WPILib will work in the Linux version of Netbeans just fine. (Compile and deploy)
