[jerome bettis]

first you need to install the build-essential package, sudo apt-get install build-essential

g++ hello.cpp to compile it
./a.out will run it

or

g++ -o hello hello.cpp
./hello

Thank's
But I compiled a my program, but I cant execute it :cry:
How can I do that?

Depends on how you compiled it. As jerome bettis wrote, (with some minor modifications by me)


g++ hello.cpp <-- to compile it
./a.out <-- will run it

or

g++ -o hello hello.cpp <-- to compile it
./hello <-- will run it


In the first example, the default executable name of a.out was used. In the second example, jerome bettis specified a name to use (using the -o flag) and changed the execution command to reflect the new name.
