Re: [newbie] GCC...where are you???

[Hopper]

gcc, the C compiler, and g++, the c++ compiler needs to be told which file you'd like to compile.   If I've written a program and called it "dirtydeeds.c" or "dirtydeeds.cpp", when I want to compile it, I'd type:   gcc dirtydeeds.c   OR   g++ dirtydeeds.cpp   This will generate a file called a.out in the directory where my source file was located. Then just type:   a.out   to run the program.   If you're like me, you'll get a crap load of errors. Vi has a nice feature to show you the line number, which makes finding the offending line easy.   Regards, Nathan ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, May 04, 2000 5:38 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] GCC...where are you??? when i type gcc in a terminal window i get gcc.colorgcc: No input files I would like to be able to use the Gnu C++ compiler for a course in c programming  and don't know how to get the darn thing to cooperate to where i can even do a hello world! --  GIF87a�
