Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello,

I am trying to figure out how I can write a bashscript that compiles several ".c" files that start with xxx (example: xxx_try.c and xxx_that.c)
So I want to compile all these files with a bash script. Anyone can help pls?

Code:

#!/bin/sh

exec gcc abc_*.c -O myexec

Does this compiles all the files in 1 file?
I need to compile them all seperatly (prefered)
So if I have files xxx_sss.c and xxx_bbb.c I need to compile them in 1 bash script but it has to make 2 different files

Did you try before you ask question again?

Just have a loop through the files and compile it using with the -o option in cc.There while you can get the executable file for each file.

Code:

for file in `ls abc_*.c`
do
        cc -o "$file.execute" $file
done

"abc" is the similarity between the files.And I created the executable file with the .execute extension.If the file name is abc_1.c then the executable file will get create by the name abc_1.execute.

Thanks

Thx, this is what I was looking for

This is a combo Useless Use of ls * and Useless Use of Backticks. A version that doesn't process the list in triplicate:

Code:

for file in abc_*.c
do
        cc -o "${file}.execute" "${file}"
done
