Create C++ Programs on the EEE PC

Step 4 Make the Program!

Go to the place where you want to have the program be in the console.

Type:

->kwrite ./your_program_here.cpp

your_program_here is where you put the name of your new program... (don't forget the .cpp)

this opens up a kwrite window

TYPE THAT CODE!

If you decided not to pay attention and did not learn C++, then I'll give you a simple "Hello World" program to test with.

Hello World Program:

(Start at the line under this one)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

main ( )
{

cout << "Hello World!";

cout << endl;

system("pause");

return 0;

}

(End at line above this one)

Hit save and exit kwrite.

back at the terminal type:

->g++ -g -o ./your_final_program_here ./your_original_program_here.cpp

_{Thanks to annex666 for catching that mistake}

your_final_program_here is where you put the name of your final program (its wise to name it the same as your .cpp file)

Hit 'Enter'

Let g++ do it thing...(might take a while)

test it by typing:

->clear; ./your_final_program_here

If it works, close the terminal

If it doesn't, make sure that your terminal is in the same folder as your program.

Then try typing:

->./your_final_program_here

(make sure that you type the correct name of your program where 'your_final_program_here'
is and don't add the '.cpp' Executable programs in Linux don't have any extensions.)

The 'clear;' that went in front of your program just scrolls the terminal down so that it appears clean.

The command line in the third image is incorrect - the name of the output should be placed directly after the -o flag, e.g: g++ -g -o my_binary source_1.cpp source_2.cpp

Thanks man, I'll edit that in now.
