C++ Compiler in Bash

[dehahn]

Could somebody please inform me on how the C++ compiler in bash shell works for Knoppix 3.3? I'm currently only running Linux from the bootable CD. I know the command g++ <and filename.C>, but this only starts the debugger from the look of things. However, what command actually starts running the compiler?

Cheers,

Danny

i think you are on the right track here..

this is what you have to do..

first, save your source code file with extension.. .cpp (ie. hello.cpp)

next, to compile your program, type:

c++ hello.cpp -o hello <enter>

and that will compile the code and output the file to hello

then to run the program, type:

./hello <enter>

!!!!!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK ! :)

agreeing mostly, but the common extension on linux is .cc - not .cpp (or .c).
.c are c-Files for gcc (gcc your.c -o your)

Thank you for the Help. I'll now give it a try.

and normally it's g++ - the gnu-c++-compiler.
