Shell Programming and Scripting

Hello everyone i have a script written in C and i need to compile it in a unix machine i am a first time programmer and i do not know how to compile this and also i need to save the results in a table please help we normally use instructions like build_bb -f but now im confused i dnt knw hw to use that.

You should have a cc or gcc command. This is the C compiler.
This will tell you whether you have to use cc or gcc:

Code:

which gcc
which cc

One of them should show something like

Code:

/usr/bin/cc   (or /usr/bin/gcc if you have gcc)

If you don't check back here and let us know.

suppose you have a file mycode.c and you want to compile and run it.
You now know the namke (gcc or cc) to use, I'm using gcc you may have to use cc, okay?
Step 1:

Code:

gcc mycode.c -o mycode

This means compile mycode.c into an exectutable file called "mycode"

Next run your code:

Code:

./mycode

Note the ./ in front of the file name.

Have fun.
