Can someone help me with the instructions of compiling and executing a c++ file in AIX?

first step: what kind of compiler you have? http://www.unix.com/aix/106232-c-compiler-aix.html

Hi Pan64 the compiler that I am using is xlC.I have got my file compiled but I am not sure how to execute the file.

just type the name of it and press enter

Hi Pan64.My cpp file name is test.cpp and my abject file name is test.o.Now what should be my command to execute the file.Because when I run any of these commands I get the error as

test.o
test.o: Command not found.
my_server 27% test.cpp
test.cpp: Command not found.
my_server 28% test
my_server 29% test.o
test.o: Command not found.
my_server 30% ./test
./test: Command not found.

how did you compile test.cpp? (what is the command you executed?)

peacepanda · 01-08-2013, 12:50 AM

This is the command that I have used

xlC_r -I/usr/lpp/cics/include -I/usr/lpp/cics/include/icc -c -o test.o test.cpp

try:
xlC_r -I/usr/lpp/cics/include -I/usr/lpp/cics/include/icc -o test test.cpp
you can exexute test by typing: ./test

Thanks Pan64.I was able to execute the program.Are there any extensive documentation which tell me how to execute and run the programs.

yes, the manual of the compiler: how to compile and generate an executable, especially you need to take care about the flags. (what does -c, -o and the others mean), the manual of the linker: how ld works.
