I am both a new Linux user and a C++ pogrammer. The tutorial I am reading suggests I use Emacs to compile my programs, if that is what I have. So, I have gotten far enough to have a .cpp file that I made w/ Qt Designer, but when I hit compile in the Emacs, it tells me:
Quote:
cd /home/garoth/
make -k
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
Compilation exited abnormally with code 2 at Sat Oct 9 21:58:30
Also, while I am at really humilliating questions, what do I do to run an executable file, that I have created. Is there a terminal command, or an easier way. Clicking at it doesnt seem to do much good. I read that 'Linuxprog' should do it, but it doesnt seem to be Fedora Core 2.
I might also add that ./ is a shortcut for current working directory. Unlike windows, linux only searches the path environment for a command. You can add a directory to the path via your .bash_profile file (assuming your using bash).
