8.2.5 C
gcc filename.c
GNU C compiler. Quite straight-forward if you know C. Extensive free manuals are available on the net.
How do I compile a simple C program?
Start your favourite text editor and type in your source code. For example, I may use pico:
pico hello.c
and type in the Kerningham and Richie (the creators of "c") intro example of a C program:
#include <stdio.h>
void main(void) {
printf("hello world\n") ;
}
I save the file and then invoke the GNU C compiler to compile the file "hello.c":
gcc hello.c
The gcc compiler produces an executable binary file "a.out", which I can run:
./a.out
