C++ programing in mandrake

[knavely]

Im just a first year com sci student
wondering what the simplest way of programing in mandrake 7.1 is. Im really do simple stuff
i mean we arent using header files, i was using borland...grateful for any help

[aph3x]

'man gcc'

how do you write a program without header files?

int main(void)
{
return 0;
}

???

yea pretty much

1. get vim (editor, i feel that it is the best one http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif)
2. when program is written save as whatever.cpp
3. g++ whatever.cpp (to compile) when compiled you should get a.out and then you change it to anything you want.
4. run the program ./a.out or whatever the name...
5 run around in circles screaming like a girl... http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/wink.gif

**note**: gcc is for c g++ is for c++

Instead of above do the following.

3. use this to compile:

g++ file.cpp -o exename

or (which I prefer)

g++ -Wall -g file.cpp -o exename

for example

g++ pigs.cpp -o pigs

or

g++ -Wall -g pigs.cpp -o pigs

Now your executable is not a.out but pigs.

4. to run the program do as above ./exename

example: ./pigs
