how to compile c++ program in the terminal?

[techieMoe]

g++ -o yourfile.cpp

This will create an executable named "a.out." If you'd like to name it something else use this command instead:

g++ -o outputFileName yourfile.cpp

anyone have a good tutorial of gcc? , i wanna know the funtions of the libraries?

[macjunior]

when i compile the program, the output comes behind like this:
c++ is powerprogrammacjunior@junior:~$

"C++ is power program" is the output that is suppose to appear on the screen...
i am confuse, is it suppose tobe that way or the output should be like:
"c++ is a power program" only?

Add newline '\n' at the end to move prompt to next line. Post your code here.

[macjunior]

/* this is a simple program */
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
cout << "c++ is power program";
return 0;
}

where should i add a new line?

[devils casper]

cout << "\nc++ is power program\n";

gausstanenbaum,

You can find the functions of the libraries by googling them up. If you want to create programs with GUIs instead of a simple Konsole output program, then you should look into the GUI libraries: GTK and Qt. GNOME is written in GTK, KDE is written in Qt.
