How do you compile software on Linux?

Answer 1

Most programs you can download in source form can be compiled using the following simple steps:

1. Extract the source package (ex. 'tar xzvf programname-version.tar.gz'), this will create directory programname-version. Chdir into it.

2. Run './configure'. This checks the build environment to make sure your compiler works and has the proper libraries installed.

3. Run 'make'. This compiles the program.

4. Run 'make install'. This places the binaries in the appropriate location(s).

5. Depends on GCC version also

Answer 2

Once the program is written we must insist machine to exicute it.

so to type the c-program you need some platform that is called "Editor".

After writting the program the program should be converted to machine lavel language mean '0' and '1' before that has exicuted.

To do these thing we need a program called compiler.the basic vompiler vendors provide an "integrated development environment"(IDE) which consists od both editior and a compiler.

this is how program gets compile.

Answer 3

Easy. If your program is in file mycode.c, then type:

cc mycode.c -o mycode

./mycode

Answer 4

On a Linux system the command is g++, this command takes the same options as gcc
