Re: Help to execute C Program Outputs

[Aravind Sadagopan <aravind.sadagopan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hope these are the steps you followed ..assume your source file is in
/home/anand/mydirectory
[mydirectory]> gcc test.c

This will create a a.out file in 'mydirectory'..Then to execute
[mydirectory]> ./a.out

This will execute the file a.out (the "./" is a shortcut to execute from the current
directory)
Other alternatives will be
1. include 'mydirectory' in your path..by giving -export PATH=$PATH:mydirectory and then
execute the program starightaway at the prompt
2. give the full path name of your executable- /home/anand/mydirectory/a.out at the
prompt

Cheers
