Hi. I'm trying to install GCC on my Kubuntu system. I downloaded it through the software manager and ran a .deb file. I believe that it is installed, but I don't know how to run it.
First try $ gcc --version It should print out something like gcc (Debian 4.4.2-8) 4.4.2 Copyright (C) 2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This is free software; see the source for copying conditions. There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Then use your favorite editor to edit a file named hello.c $ cat hello.c #include <stdio.h> int main () { printf ("Hello GCC!\n"); return 0; } Compile it to an executable using GCC: $ gcc -o hello hello.c Run the executable: $ ./hello Hello GCC! Finally you can further read GCC manual: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.2/gcc/ Jie
