UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I need some help with this problem i am having here.. Im supposed to be doing this for a class.. and Im having trouble with compiling it. Im a beginner with unix.. I have the files copied and im up to the step to compile them, but I can't figure out how to do it. Here are the things I have to do.. Could someone please help me?



-Create a directory ~/UnixCourse/compileAsst


-Copy the files from ~cs252/Assignments/compileAsst into your newly created directory
-Give the command:
~cs252/bin/compileAsst.pl
This will launch an emacs session.



-Within that emacs session, use the emacs "compile" command to compile the program. Both of the .cpp files will need to be compiled and linked together. You can do this in a single step, or in three separate steps, whichever you prefer.


-You will find that there are some compilation errors reported for this code. Use the emacs "next-error" command to step through these and fix the code. Repeat the compilation and fixes until no more compilation errors are reported.



-When you exit from the emacs session, your work will be checked to see if you have completed the assignment. If you need to resume working on this assignment, either immediately or sometime later, just re-issue the compileAsst.pl command. All work on this assignment must be done within emacs sessions created by the compileAsst.pl command. Do not launch your own emacs session for this assignment.
