Basic Compilation of a C++ Program
Aug 24th
If you are using Mac OSX or Linux, go to the folder where your cpp file is located in the terminal. On windows, you will need to install g++.
Assuming your source file is called main.app, and you want your output file to be called “hellos” then type the following:
g++ -o hellos main.cpp
To run it:
./hellos
Note: It is possible to compile the program without specifying the output file name but it will default to “a.out”:
g++ main.cpp
Additional compiler options can be found here.
