 How to run C program in linux?

Install C and C++ Compilers in Mint

sudo aptitude install build-essential
This will install all the required packages for C and C++ compilers
 

Compiling Your first C Programs

Now you need to open first.c file
sudo gedit first.c
add the following lines save and exit the file

#include
int main()
{
printf(“Hello world\n”);
return 0;
}

Firstly compile the code using the following command

cc -c first.c

that would produce an object file you may need to add to the library.

then create an executable using the following command

cc -o first first.c

Now run this executable using the following command
./first

Output should show as follows
Hello, world

1 year ago	dagon	Ok. The code probably went missing after editing the text. A bug in CKEditor: http://drupal.org/node/1258998
1 year ago	dagon	1. #include should be: #include <stdio.h> // parenthesis won't render (html/xml???) This explains the "undeclaired" part of the errors... 2. printf(“Hello world\n”) The quotation marks is not plain ascii so that would explain the "stray `\342'... etc. We need a "Code component" thing for tutorials! 3. I'm with @frankh: gcc -o name name.c

1 year ago	frankh	Comment: For the simplest compilation and use of C i Linux, it's not necessary to create an object file first. You can do gcc -o name name.c, and you'll immediately have an executable file.
