Simple help with Anjuta

[digimars]

I have followed along with setting up SDL in Anjuta from this site (http://lazyfooproductions.com/SDL_tutorials/lesson01/linux/anjuta/index.php).

I can build the project, and Execute it from the IDE, and it will run fine. But when I go to where my project is at /home/me/Projects/SDL_tut/ there is no SDL_tut file in there, but there is a binary file by that name in /home/me/Projects/SDL_tut/src. But when I try to run that with this:


me@Archimedes:~$ cd /home/me/Projects/SDL_tut/src
me@Archimedes:~/Projects/SDL_tut/src$ ls
main.cc main.o Makefile Makefile.am Makefile.in sdl_tut
me@Archimedes:~/Projects/SDL_tut/src$ sdl_tut
bash: sdl_tut: command not found
me@Archimedes:~/Projects/SDL_tut/src$ sh sdl_tut
sdl_tut: sdl_tut: cannot execute binary file
me@Archimedes:~/Projects/SDL_tut/src$ bash sdl_tut
sdl_tut: sdl_tut: cannot execute binary file


And I tried to do a Build Distribution, all I get is this:

How can I run my test program outside of the IDE? Why can't I build a distribution?

I'm extremely new to Linux programming, but I have dealt with beginner to intermediate Windows programming, so I'm not too noobish.

Any help would be greatyl appreciated.

While in the src directory, type


./sdl_tut

Thanks, I gave it a shot, but it just went back to the command line. I recall in Windows that you would have to do something like system("PAUSE") to prevent a console window closing at the end of the program's execution, is that what is happening here?

I've actually wondered the same thing. Within Linux, I cannot use the system("Pause") command to stop the console window from closing. Everytime this happens I encounter errors. Is there some equivalent within Linux that I can use to do this? Better still, is there some method that works across both operating systems so I don't have to worry about writing it one way, building to see if my program works, then changing the command to something that will work in Windows to send to my professor who uses Windows XP for final review/ grading.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
