I just made a .c file and compiled it with gcc in the terminal on OS X 10.8.2.
My syntax was gcc -o <filename> <sourcefile>
and that was fine. Now I see I have an executable and file <filename>
tells me as such, but I'm not sure how to actually run it beside double clicking the icon, /lame. When I try running the executable by just typing I get command not found, but I thought it was executable...?
Thank you.
EDIT: I"m so stupid, it was just open <filename>
To run an executable in mac
1). Move to the path of the file:
cd/PATH_OF_THE_FILE
2). Run the following command to set the file's executable bit using the chmod command:
chmod +x ./NAME_OF_THE_FILE
3). Run the following command to execute the file:
./NAME_OF_THE_FILE
Once you have run these commands, going ahead you just have to run command 3, while in the files path.
