Wow. Thats a broad title. Anyways. I need help compiling and executing my c files through command prompt. What I did.
vi new.c
**inserted tons of code***
:wq
gcc -c new.c
**new.o appears**
Now what do I do? I don't know how to link it into an executable. Someone told me something about make, and I don't know what to do. Can someone just tell me the other command to link it into an exec. file?
"When I die I want to pass peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather did, not screaming and yelling like the passengers in his car."
the first line produces the executable, the second executes it, -c tells gcc not to link the object file, so you won't get an executable in that case.Code:$ gcc -o new new.c $ ./new
however, "gcc -c" is what you would use if you have a multiple file project, then you would link them afterward.
