do not know how to build C source file

[evgininanir]

hello everybody i am a new user of ubuntu...
and i am trying to learn c language.
i installed ubuntu 6.10 and then kDevelopment

THERE WAS SOME PROBLEMS AND i solve it with these people's answers........
------>shining and red_Marvin...thank you guys again...

i want to learn C programming language.
but as in Windows we write a hello.c program and we can build it with something like "run" or "build " or something else.....

but in ubuntu with Kdevelopment ide i could not compile and could not see the hello.c program's result...

my question is how can i compile and see the result of my simple hell.c program's result like has been it MS-Dos.....thanks...
this is the code of my simple hello.c
#include<iostream.h>
main()
{
printf("Hello Evgin !");

return 0;
}


help i am going crazy and i want learn using ubuntu .....

Make sure you have gcc and associated files installed by doing this:
sudo aptitude install build-essential

Subsequently, you can compile a program by doing this:
gcc hello.c
(the file will be a.out, there are other options with gcc such as specifying another output file name)

okey but if you excuse me ....
my source file is at /home/oem/desktop/new folder/hello.c

how can i use gcc ?

thank you meng

[meng]

Open a terminal:
cd desktop/new\ folder/
gcc hello.c

This assumes you have installed build-essential as stated in my earlier post.

thank you again meng....
i did and it worked..
now i have another problem.
when i make this ------>gcc hello.c it produced a.out as you said.

and now how can i see what a.out do like has been at ms-dos
or what i have to do to see what this a.out does?.....

hello everybody i am a new user of ubuntu...
#include<iostream.h>
main()
{
printf("Hello Evgin !");

return 0;
}



iostream is for windows.

Here is a proper Hello.c test for you.



#include <stdio.h>

int
main (void)
{
printf ("Hello, Ubuntu\n");
return 0;
}



then

# gcc -Wall hello.c -o hello

Should compile a file called hello for you to run.

Enjoy.

Or alternatively, just type
./a.out
(I can't remember if you explicitly need to make the file executable, if you do need to do this:
chmod a+x a.out

)


Ultimately, you'll want to use the -o option, then
./hello2
(or whatever the filename is)

thanks both of you....

i have another question.....
i want to use kdevelopment envoirement to write and to compile and run all c program but how can i do that i do not know....

for e.g.
i have a file named hello.c
the code in this file

#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
printf("HELlo..\n");
return 0;
}

how can i do that in KDevelop:C\C++ ....thanks

Just wanted to clarify something here, iostream.h is part of the C++ language standard, and stdio.h is part of the C programming language. If you really want to dig into C then I would recommend you get the book "The Programming Language" by Brian Kernighan & Dennis Ritchie. (Those are the guys who invented C btw)

Just to also add.
Usually filename.c are C language and filename.cpp are C++ language.

i do understand you but my problem is is there a way to buid the simple hello.c source file and see what it produces ,using KDevelop:C/C++ platform ?

evgininanir,

Just use Gedit and the command-line for all of your early development. Kdevelop will just be another thing to learn on top of C.

I agree with the others, that you should just work in a command line environment for now, but I also know some instructors are specific in how they are doing things or some people are stuck in microsofts point and click method. So I will point in a direction and then say check more with google like I did as I prefer creating my own makefile and the like. A nice syntax highlighter is very helpful though.

kile, gedit, vim, emacs many many many more out there, eclipse etc etc

Here is the most relevant thing I thought to start your reading (from google) if you have to use kdevelop
