C++ Mode v0.1.4

What's new

Improved Linux support with auto-installers for missing dependencies.

• Added "Install Automatically" button when g++ is not found on Linux — detects apt, pacman, dnf, and zypper and installs with one click
• Added "Install Automatically" button when GLFW or GLEW headers are missing — same package manager detection
• Install output is streamed directly to the Processing console so you can see what's happening
• Fixed library detection to check for headers instead of .so files, which correctly catches systems missing libglfw3-dev and libglew-dev
• Library check now runs before compile so you get a clear error dialog instead of a raw compiler error

Requirements

Linux: g++, libglfw3-dev, libglew-dev — CppMode will prompt you to install these automatically if missing

Windows: MSYS2 with g++ (auto-installer included)

macOS: Homebrew with gcc, glfw, glew — CppMode will open the Homebrew download page if not installed

v0.1.3 BROKEN

What's new

• Bundled GLEW and GLFW for Linux — no need to install dev libraries manually
• Added Linux g++ not found dialog with clear install instructions for all major distros
• Fixed library detection on Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, Debian, Mint and other apt-based systems

Requirements

Linux: g++ only — sudo apt install g++ / sudo pacman -S gcc / sudo dnf install gcc-c++

Windows: MSYS2 with g++ (auto-installer included)

macOS: not yet supported
