hello world doesnt start

oke this is my firs application for linux , an hellow orld as always

Code:

---

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
              printf("hello");
            getchar();
            return 0;
}

---

i dit it with the gcc command and as output i get a.out

gcc hello.c


but when i tried to run it(a.out) , it doesnt do anything

printf("hello\n");

or

printf("hello");fflush(stdout);

doenst make any different:s

So what does it say?
a.out not found?

Maybe try running it with
./a.out

"It doesn't work" is not a meaningful report.

it compilled and when i double click on it , it doesnt react

You type these commands in at a console prompt.

YEAH , ./a.out did it , it said hello world in the terminal , but how do i let it do something in the GUI (mine is GNOME)

or do you just make things with the windows.h header?

windows.h is a Windows operating system header. Unless someone happened to write a windows.h for Linux, that is not the way to do it.

*sigh* They're on their way there unfortunately, porting the registry & Win32 API to Linux...

Anyway you need a 'GUI' library if you plan on greating a user interface, I would suggest GTK+

When you compile with gcc it's better to name your output program something:

something like 'gcc hello.c -o hello'

Or simply
$ make hello

As for the WinAPI: WINE.

wow make works so well, (= Why did no one it was easier that way. I had to go into the subdirectory to rename it before (= Thanks for the tip!
