Hi

For most packages
First seek for a file like .configure and try ./configure
or
./configure --help

For a single file like mytest.c
gcc -o mytest mytest.c

tnx

hey,

I just need to compile a single file, bar in NCSU's CDK

I entered gcc -o bar bar.c

but "commond not found"

what's the reason?

I use SUSE 9.0 Pro Linux

When you installed your linux version did you mention you would like to install the gcc compiler too? (Check if your gcc compiler is installed)

hi

1. you must have installed gcc to run it.
2. sometimes gcc may be invoked via cc or g++ commands try them too.


tnx

I think that any software have a help. to help user using software easy.

about the redhat clones (the SUSE, mandrake, and other SVR4.2 linuces around) gcc is not an optional package, it is in the base set, and is installed anyway. maybe it is aliased as "cc" or something like that, or maybe it is not in the path... or maybe they're using egcs...
