Hi Kathleen,
I use the compiler that comes with Mandrake which is also the same one in
Redhat and the others. If it's C you're programming in invoke 'gcc', if
you're doing C++ use 'g++'. Although actually either one will work for
both C and C++. I've gotten some funny errors from gcc when compiling a
C++ program.
the command line to invoke the compiler looks like this:
source code file name: hello.cc
binary name after compile: hello
command line syntax: g++ -g -Wall -ohello hello.cc <ENTER>
if your program is coded correctly when you hit the enter key your machine
will whir for a second and then come back to the command prompt. a clean
compile is nothing but the command prompt. Then type the name of the
binary and watch your program run.
