HELP!! Compiling on C (I think I may of placed this in the wrong forum b4, sorry!)

anywayz

I just have a quick question regarding compiling of C, I believe it simple (well not to me), and any help would be much appreciated.

Basically I am a beginner at C programming language and I am having difficult at compiling any code.

At the moment I placed the following code onto notepad and saved it as samp.c:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
printf("This is output from my first program!\n");
return 0;
}


The problems is when I try to compile the code whether through cc or gcc, by doing gcc samp.c –o samp.exe I always get the following response:

“No such file or directory”

How do I overcome this problem ?? (also on my computer I have several dives)

er, linux doesn't use exes. Try it without the .exe bit.

now save da file where ever u want to save on ur PC and
try this out------------>

(1) cc (full path name)\samp.c -test
(2) ./test
here test is the output file

u can also use
(1) cc (full path name)\samp.c
(2) ./a.out

this is da default output file--> a.out

Have you tried specifying the complete path to sample.c?
Your program looks fine, and sample.exe should run fine too allthough I don't think you really need the .exe extension. Unless I'm mistaken that's something Windows needs to recognize it as a "executable" file.
You could also do "gcc sample.c -o sample.bladiebla" and run it just fine.
Just a thought.

I tried it, but 'its like' it can not Recognise the directory...which are one of two

(1)H:\my documents\samp.c
(2)H:\samp.c

does the C language come with a default directory like Javas J Builder ???

Assuming you are using linux, you need to mount the windows partition and use "tab-completion" to change into the correct directory. Linux does not use drive letters.

DO YOU USE LINUX???
DO YOU HAVE GCC INSTALLED???

You definitely do have gcc installed, and within your path ? (What happens when you just type gcc <enter> into a shell ?)

perfect_circle, considering he was trying to compile it as an exe and now mentions H:\ I'd guess not!
killos, NOTE the PENGUINS!
