how to compile\run a simple c program on ubuntu without using the terminal

[seanbeltrami]

Hi
i'm new to programming.
I need to work the following simple program called somma(or any):

#include<stdio.h>
main()
{
int a,b,somma;
printf("INSERIRE I NUMERI DA SOMMARE");
scanf("%d%d,&a,&b);
somma=a+b;
printf("la somma di a+b e':\n%d \nArrivederci!\n",somma);
}
I really would not know where to start, i installed gcc (through terminali with gcc apt get install...)
Even better for me at the moment would be having a way not to use the terminal at all,as i did with devc++ or turbo c
where all u had to do was punch a button.
Can anybody help me step by step
Thanks

Save the program as somma.c.
Then type

gcc -o somma somma.c
./somma


I suspect there is a GUI that can do this for you, but I'm sorry, I don't know what it is. Perhaps someone else here will know.

hmmm, "Absolute Beginner Talk" is probably not the best forum to post this question.

However, if you install Eclipse you can compile and run C programs "without using the terminal"

Netbeans is a simpeler alternative to eclipse, it's also an IDE for C++ (and java, ...). Just see which one you like best.

I also like Kdevelop for C/C++ development. It's a very nice IDE from KDE, but it runs well under gnome.

Hi, you can also try geany out. It's a really nice small program. It lets you compile and test run different kinds of programming languages.

It's available in the repositories.

I use command line or eclipse, but just to complete the list, also Anjuta should be cited; it is the IDE for C/C++ in gnome, if I'm not wrong.

Before compiling your source codes, you might as well install the "essential" files.

Code:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

See the sticky in the Programming Talk. It has a link to two threads which explain everything.
