This is what I type in my Shell console ...

knoppix@1[knoppix]$ cd /usr/include/netinet
knoppix@1[netinet]$ ls
ether.h if_ether.h if_tr.h in.h ip.h ip_icmp.h udp.h
icmp6.h if_fddi.h igmp.h in_systm.h ip6.h tcp.h


My question is ... how do I compile in C Shell ... and yes ... I do realise that I am in Bash.

The version of linux I am using is Kanotix Debian-based Live CD X86.

I have been stucked for this for a long time. I did google for it ... but no answer from anywhere. Any help will truly be appreciated.

Thanks.

Is this installed on a hard drive already?
Otherwise where will you store the programme?

Debian has a package called csh. If you enter csh at the prompt, you will enter that shell if it is installed.

Your thread title and actual thread ask two different questions. Do you want to compile csh as in your title (which peter_robb has already answered), or do you want to compile in csh? If the latter, then surely using gcc (or whatever compiler) is the same and doesn't depend on the shell?

Also, please don't double post.

Yes I know i nd to be in C shell. So, may I know how do i go to c shell from the command prompt mention above?

Thanks.

Just run "csh" as peter_robb already told you.

Ok. This is what I did in the Shell console ... (Linux Kanotix Live CD - not installed in my hard drive)

knoppix@1[knoppix]$ csh
bash: csh: command not found

Actually I hope someone can help me just to compile and execute one very simple 'Hello World' C shell program ... and I will be eternally grateful ... I really mean it.

Thanks

Perhaps you could try "tcsh". Maybe Kanotix/Knoppix don't come with csh on their live CDs? If you had installed those distros to your hard drive, you probably would have been able to obtain csh via the package managers.

As for compiling and executing a C program, I'll assume your file is called hello.c. This example creates an executable named "a.out":

$ gcc hello.c

You would then run that executable as follows:

$ ./a.out

If you want to change the output filename, then use gcc's -o flag:

$ gcc hello.c -o hello
$ ./hello

Ok. So I have tried the tcsh. But it is still not working. Here are the shell console msg that I receive ...

knoppix@1[knoppix]$ ls -a
. .czap .links .tzap
.. .firefox .mcop .xchat2
.DCOPserver_Kanotix_:0 .gnome .mozilla .xfce4
.DCOPserver_Kanotix__0 .gnome_private .mozilla-thunderbird .xfwm4rc
.ICEauthority .gtkrc .nessus.keys .xine
.Xauthority .gtkrc-2.0 .nessusrc .xsession-errors
.Xdefaults .kaxtv .qt .zAppRun
.acrorc .kde .szap Desktop
.bashrc .kderc .tecla tmp
.config .klik .thumbnails

knoppix@1[knoppix]$ tcsh
bash: tcsh: command not found

So, is there any other way I can compile the hello world C shell program?


And you did mention I need to download the gcc compiler right? I did some google ... and just wanna check is this the correct website for the correct C shell compiler?

http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.1/

Oops, sorry, I thought you meant a C program. If you did actually mean a C shell program (script?), then that will be an interpreted program and thus will need no compilation.

Ok, so now, how can we create a c shell program under Linux Debian?

From the command console ... what should I type to just get a simple Hello World program?

1. If you need to run C-shell programms, you need C-shell.
2. It looks like there is no C-shell available on that particular machine. So...
3. ...you need to install a C-shell
4. Being it a live CD doesn't help much.
5. Get a live CD where C-shell is available or...
6. ...install a real distribution on a hard drive and install a C-shell
7. Then you can create your hello world C-shell program like this:
