how about an actual example? Show us the actual file you are trying to compile.

[MistaT] · 10-12-2002, 07:52 PM

wanna know what im trying to compile?

it is - hello

why the fuck do u want to know, if u know how just help us out

gcc hello.c -o hello world

why does this not work?

I dont think you want to compile just "anything"...heh

thats no fun :P

check out rpms, they're great for people who dont know what they're doing to atleast get started...

Don't use RPMs. They're the root of all evil =)

To compile hello.c will require a simple:
gcc -o hello hello.c

Filenames can only be one word, unless you do something like gcc -o 'hello world' hello.c
Which is bad in general, avoid spaces in filenames.

Anything you download and want to compile will often come with a Makefile or a configure script. For example, say you want to compile MyProgram 1.0 - it would generally be something like

tar xzf myprogram-1.0.targz
cd myprogram-1.0
./configure
make
make install

You might want to read through some Linux HOWTOs or maybe even grab a nice book on Linux. Compiling stuff is the easy part, it gets harder from there on in :P

Oh and if you're running Mandrake, well, you shouldn't be :P But if you are, make SURE you chmod -s your linuxconf binary.

Type "which linuxconf" and find the path to the file and then simply "chmod -s /bin/linuxconf" or whatever the path to it is. Linuxconf has a huge local exploit on it and is +s for all Mandrake dists - very exploitable.
