[newbie] C Programming
Hi, all -- I would like to thank those of you who answered my query about taking a log in GNU c. The program was, indeed, as I had thought, correct, but the linker does not link the math libraries unless the -lm switch is present. Things now work fine.

[newbie] C programming problem
Can anyone help? I have decided to learn C and have followed the examples in the books C in 24 hours by Tony Zhang and Running Linux by Welsh and co. The problem is, after following the text for the first program very carefully (I used vi ) I compiled the program with gcc -o hello hello.c as I was told to. This worked fine and when I went to test it with the command hello at the prompt it came back that hello is not a command. I can not understand my mistake as I have followed the book to the letter. In saying that, if I start up x and open my home file, click on hello and then close x the phrase 'hello world' (it is my first program) appears above the prompt. Why can it not appear when I type I hello at the prompt as the two books mention? -- scotchpie
Re: [newbie] C programming problem
It will work if you run ./hello on the command line. The ./ directory (which means 'the directory where I am') is usually not included in the path where the shell looks for executable files.

I am currently using Code Forge and really like it, easily worth the $50 for the home user package, the free version works well also. -- Alex (Go easy on me, I'm a COBOL programmer in real life)
[newbie] C programming environment
i was wondering what you all thought was the best C/C++ programming environment (compiler,linker,etc.). I was looking for something fairly user-friendly, where compiling and debugging return clear explanations of why they didn't work. I have tried Emacs and didn't really like it. Any and all suggestion welcome. Payne __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com

Any and all suggestion welcome. Payne __ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Getting clear explanations is a matter of passing appropriate flags to gcc or g++ compiler. You can check HOWTOs for those options or pick up one of those Linux programming books. I guess what you are looking for is a nice editor ( if you are only doing simple programming excersizes) or full featured programming environment. You can download many different editors with syntax highlighting and compiling options from the internet. I usually check Linuxberg website first. They have good collection of Linux software.(www.linuxberg.com) Seung-woo Nam
[newbie] C++ programming
hi beings, could someone tell me what the best C++ development environment for mandrake is ? by best, i mean something that is user-friendly, with a GUI debugger, and lots of documentation... doesn't have to be free, as long as it works well. on the mandrake web site they had a link for a package called "code forge"; has anyone used it / liked it ? what about "code crusader / code medic" ? thanks, mathieu
