How to compile C++ code in GNU/Linux OS ?
 

Hi guys

I have always heard about GNU/Linux operating system and its advantages.So I reacently installed it.The problem is with compiling the c++ code using the command prompet.I am new to this OS and I have read that if I want to compile c++ code,I should save it in C file format and then browse to it through the shell ( or whatever its name is) then type:

gcc ****.c (**** indicate the file name)

but I keep receiving a maessage stating that the file was not found ,although I am 100% sure that it there (using dir command)

What is the problem?

Thank you all....

Thank you very much ,but isn't this different from the command gcc ?
The tutorial shows another command which is g++ .
Moreover , I am still receiving the smae message.

gcc ./filename.c
gcc ./filename.cpp

notice the ./ make sure you include it.

gcc -x c++ filename.cpp

-The "-x" option with c++ after it specifies the language.

or

g++ filename.cpp

-You can also use g++ to compile c++ code.

If you're using C code, then just do this:

gcc filename.c

Thank you .....it worked ,but not like A dream :) due to my bad program :o
Thank you all.
