Linker Problem on Linux

Now that the program builds and runs on Windows, it was time to make sure it still worked on Linux. However, the linker failed because the compiler/linker did not understand that ‑static‑libstdc++ option. Upon research, it was discovered that this option was only in GCC version 4.5 and later, so it was not available in the GCC 4.4.5 on Kubuntu.

The latest version of GCC (4.6.0) was downloaded and installed on Kubuntu using the source code. This required quite a bit of work to accomplish (for complete details, hit the continue link). Now that the project was building on both Linux and Windows, it was time to introduce it to the NetBeans IDE (which was now at version 7.0, version 6.9.1 was being used for development on Windows).
