Beginning programmer

Beginning programmer

[matthew.garn]

I am just getting started as a C++ programmer and am completely unfamiliar
with g++.  Could you give me a link or a copy of some documentation that
explains, in detail, compiling and linking a source code file.   I am
confused about the parameters that I should use when compiling and linking.
If you have any documentation explaining make file configurations that
would be great too.   I would appreciate any help you can offer.

Thank you
Matthew Garn

Try to create a file named foo.cc or foo.C, then use `make foo.o' to
compile it, and `make foo' to link.  Look at the commands `make'
prints and learn from them.

g++ --help will list all the available command-line options, and the
GCC manual will give you all the gory details.

You may also want to have a look at some book on Unix programming.
GCC's interface is not very different from any Unix-based compiler, at
least on the surface :-)

How about this?


http://users.actcom.co.il/~choo/lupg/tutorials/c-on-unix/c-on-unix.html


I got the above by going to a search engine at http://www.google.com and typed in g++ tutorial.  I am sure there is other good stuff available.

gcc's manual does not contain any tutorial, but if you'd like to look up some parameters, then the following should be helpful.

Hope this helps.
