How to recompile source code?

[stringMX]

I'm completely new to Linux. I tried one application for Linux, but it even does not start on Ubuntu (ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso). However, it was written a long time ago for Linux RH 7, this may be reason why it does not even launched on modern Linux. How to recompile source code for modern Linux? The source code is in C.

Firstly I highly recommend you to look over Linux articles on linuxforums.org named how-to-solve-problems-in-linux-a-novice-s-guide_503
before asking.
Anyway, you should use GNU compiler tools ang become familiar to develop software on linux machine. Such basic example:
g++ hello.C -o hello
But I also recommend to use rapid application development (RAD) suites for newbies. such as eclipse, netbeans or codelite. (I am using codelite which is only capable for C and C++ projects but if you want general RAD program for C, php, java etc. netbeans is my favourite.)
Welcome to Linux programming world, it is fun indeed .

Does applications can run on Linux when Linux loaded from CD image?

Yes, you can run applications from a live CD. However, changes you make will not be persistent across reboots. (Though there are ways to make persistent live installs, usually using a flash drive to store data.)

What artu was getting at, is that if the application depends on things no longer available in a current linux distro, a simple re-compile will not suffice. You would probably have to rewrite sections of the code. Perhaps if you post what this program is you're trying to run, we can find an alternative or current version of it.

well, I uploaded source and bin.

The source.zip file in that link is password protected.

Why don't you just tell us what the program is called and maybe link to the project website?

sorry, passw: 123
I tried attach zip file, but it not been attahed, perhaps some bug.
You canno find it online.

An unnamed application that doesn't exist online? Really? You're not giving us much to go on.

However, with the mysterious powers of google, I suspect I have the answer. Given the name "hydrogen-client" in your file, I'm assuming this is the Hydrogen Remote Access Trojan client and server. Which indeed has a website, here: IMMUNITY : Knowing You're Secure

And also has their GPL release available for download. Which looks very much like the source files you uploaded. Forgive me if I'm suspicious of a relative computer novice looking to build a program to create trojans. My general principle when people want help with software that can be used for potentially unethical purposes is that if you don't know enough to figure it out on your own (or even find the project website - where did you get the code??), you probably don't know enough to use it wisely or safely. Sorry. So unless there is a different hydrogen-client you're referring to, I can't help.

Your assumptions are wrong in most aspects. Sorry, I do not need help from you.
