The M that you need to FR is

man gcc

the command is

> gcc -o executablename whatever.c

for c++ it's

> g++ -o executablename whatever.cpp

have fun...

You need to install GCC. What distro are you using?

You may like to do a "cc" without quotes too.
cc -- ansi C Compiler driver
gcc -- GNU C Compiler

You would install it with rpm: rpm -Uvh filename.rpm

Read the SuSE manual, the part that talks about installing software with YaST or YaST2. B/c suse has many cd's rpm does not really work.

tar -zxvf <filename>
cd /path/to/files
./configure
make
make install


Hold on! It's a proper compiling question. Cool :cool:
