Writing, Compiling and Executing C programs using GNU compiler. 2) . Writing, Compiling and Executing C++ programs using GNU compiler. 3). Compiling multiple C/C++ source files using GNU compiler. 4). Compiling multiple C/C++ source Using Makefiles. without understanding the above stuff student never understand what is going on when they compile the package from source OR kernel from source as per syllabus . It will give great confidence and first impression/passion among the student. compiling the kernel without having those stuff may create negative impression among student.
