Thread: is this right g++ -c helloWorld.cpp hello.cpp

**** this posting is for Linux Debian ***

Which is the one you start with and the one you are try to make, it does not seem to work
g++ -c helloWorld.cpp hello.cpp


Why does it all have to be hello
Of if the book said something like g++ -c read.cpp object.cpp

then you need to go from object to executable

It does not work I tried different combinations, it does not work, the book information does not work, information on internet does not work, nobody know,

I was trying to make a posting I got so frustrated, and the half story wen up lets start again
It does not work I tried different combinations, it does not work, the book information does not work, information on internet does not work, nobody knows, how I am so confused I should go and do something else, I think I got confused with all these hellos

It is alright sorry

After I "switch off" I found the answer, (due to lack of stress)

g++ first.cpp -o second

Where first.cpp is the C++ code you write in a text editor
And second is the name of the file you want made.

You do not need to use the words first and second in the file names (but it does work) , but for a tutorial it could be easier than seeing hello hello everywhere/
