Use g    And make sure you have the relevant libraries installed

even you can compile your c   code by gcc  Sounds funny    Yes it is  try it     gcc avishay cpp -lstdc     enjoy

Update your apt-get     sudo apt-get update   sudo apt-get install g     Run your program cpp     g   program cpp     a out

User · Answer

You should use g    not gcc  to compile C   programs   For this particular program  I just typed  make avishay   and let make figure out the rest  Gives your executable a decent name  too  instead of a out

Yes  use g   to compile  It will automatically add all the references to libstdc   which are necessary to link the program   g   source cpp -o source   If you omit the -o parameter  the resultant executable will be named a out  In any case  executable permissions have already been set  so no need to chmod anything   Also  the code will give you undefined behaviour  and probably a SIGSEGV  as you are dereferencing a NULL pointer and trying to call a member function on an object that doesn t exist  so it most certainly will not print anything  It will probably crash or do some funky dance

g   is the C   compiler under linux  The code looks right  It is possible that you are missing a library reference which is used as such   g   -l library name here  math fns use  m    codefile cpp

You probably should use g   rather than gcc

you can use g   --std c  0x example cpp -o example

To compile source cpp  run   g   source cpp   This command will compile source cpp to file a out in the same directory  To run the compiled file  run     a out   If you compile another source file  with g   source2 cpp  the new compiled file a out will overwrite the a out generated with source cpp  If you want to compile source cpp to a specific file  say compiledfile  run   g   source cpp -o compiledfile   or  g   -o compiledfile source cpp   This will create the compiledfile which is the compiled binary file  to run the compiledfile  run    compiledfile   If g   is not in your  PATH  replace g   with  usr bin g

Use      g     space followed by the program name   e g      g   prog cpp   if the filename was  prog cpp  in this case  if you want to run the program write     prog   so i used      prog    because it was my filename
