Hello, I was wondering what C++/C# libraries are used to program on Linux? Or How do u create programs (Such as Firefox and other Linux apps) in C++/C#? Thanks, Daniel

    C# is part of .Net and designed for Windows primarily but you can run .Net (C# or VB.Net) code on Linux using MONO, GNU .Net or ROTOR. For C,C++ development on linux you can use GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) and MinGW as IDE. Or you can use Borland Kylix and other borland linux IDEs. Loren Soth

    I could be wrong, but I previously thought the bulk of Firefox was created in Java. If you want to create GUI apps on Linux, you'll have to find the API for the X windowing system used (KDE or GNOME).

    you can get the whole source for the Firefox for free ,just go to their homepage and u can get it and there are no C# libraries for Linux as far as i know, but for C++ u can find most libraries using Google
