C++ in Linux

[ThePatriot]

Well, i finally got redhat working on this old box i had, and read the man pages on gcc and g++, i tried to get a very very simple c++ scipt to work but im having some troubles. The script was basic

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout<<"Hello" im leaving out endl; cuz it wont work on forums
return 0;
}



ok, so i type it up and save it as hello.cc, then in the console i type in g++ -c hello.cc and it claims it works, but i cant find out where the output of the file is. Any suggestions?

Yhea you got it working on my old box.

Try the -o flag and then specify the file name you want it to come out as. If you don't specify the name or the -o flag the output file will be "a.out."

(an example for a c compilation)
gcc -o fileiwant sourcefile.c

This will produce an executable file called "fileiwant."

#include<iostream.h>

int main()
{
cout<<"Hello, im leaving, out"<<endl; //cuz it wont work on forums
return 0;
}

Yea it does, i tried to put < < endl; in but it kept editing it so i gave up.

No you use the -o flag with the g++ command .. that specifies the name and location of the out file. Without that flag it creates a binary named a.out

That's what I said...



If you don't specify the name or the -o flag the output file will be "a.out."


In other words if you don't put it there ----> it gives you "a.out"
