Changing the Time Format in Solaris 10?

You don't run a C source file, you compile it and then run the binary executable built in the process.

eg:

Code:

$ /usr/sfw/bin/gcc micro.c -o micro
$ ./micro

Hey There,

I just double checked, and it looks like you're executing the C code, which needs to be compiled before you use it.

This simple command line should set you up:

gcc -o micro micro.c

This assumes you want your binary to be named micro (-o micro is the output file)

Best wishes,

Mike

Sorry but you need to go back and read the thread. The micro.c is an uncompiled Source file written in C Programming language. You need to compile the source code (using gcc), this will give you the compiled version which you then run.

I hope after reading all these replies more or less rephrasing the initial one I posted in #16, the OP will understand the mistake ...

What you get it C programming language SOURCE-code that needs to be compiled to a binary file with machine instructions (and loader/linker instructions).

To compile this C-program, you need a compiler. There is one in Sun free software CD. If you install that compiler, it will end up in directory /usr/sfw/bin
To run the c compiler, that is named gcc, to compile your source code you need to write this in the same directory where you store the source code from a terminal.

Quote:

/usr/sfw/bin/gcc micro.c -o micro

Then it will create a runnable binare called micro in same directory. That file you can load and run with this command from same place.

Quote:

./micro

But this will not change any other programs way of showing the time on screen or in a log file.

Get a basic C programmers book and a basic Unix user book. You will need it to understand how Unix works.
