How to compile and run C and C++ program on Linux

man gcc
will give you all the info you need.

Dear neo77777,
Thankx, but problem is how to run a.out ?

./a.out

vi beer.c
*press letter "i" to start inserting text. then start typing*

/* blah */
main()
{
printf ("gimmi another beer bitch");
}

*after you type this example hit the 'esc' key then ':wq' to save*

*you should be back at the prompt now*

type:
gcc beer.c
./a.out

But why in vi? It's the best method to scare a new Linux (Unix) user...

Yeah, why vi? why not ed? Let's not start the best editor flame war here. It doesn't matter as long as the opponent understood the idea behind.

sorry - it's what i use. so it was easy to type in a hurry. gedit is great also. ae on debian is good - as is pico.

hey hey, i like vi... don't go knocking it ;)

u should give Kdevelop a try. it's a great development environment for C and C++ programs. it basically does everything except the programming for u :)

Kdevelop is nice. Especially for peple used to VIsual * environments.
