So I read that opensuse 12.1 comes with gcc already installed and everything. So now say i have a file, hello.c, which i want to compile. Shouldn’t I be able to just write:
gcc hello.c
while I’m located in the hello.c file directory from the konsole?
And also about the g++, do I need to install anything else to be able to use it or should it also be good to go?

Hi
You would need to install gcc-c++ and it would be;
gcc hello.c -o hello
unless you just want a.out

No, it does not come installed by default. You have to select it for
installation, or rather, select the development pattern.
What it comes is in the DVD, IIRC.

I tried to install the development basis pattern from yast, but it would always have problems when it would need to download the required files. Is there some way of forcing it to take it from the installation dvd that i have?
Hi
Use the -r command with zypper to install from the dvd repository.
zypper lr
zypper in gcc --r <alias|name|#|URI>
Where either one of alias, name, # or URI from the lr output.

Thank you for the help. gcc is working now.
And onto the second part of my question. I created a simple hello world c file and compiled it with:
gcc hello.c -o hello
and it didn’t complain or anything. So shouldn’t I be able to just type in
hello
to actually run the file that was compiled?
Hi
If you put the binary into your home bin directory for sure, outside of
that it would need to be;
$ hello
bash: ~/bin/hello: No such file or directory
$ ./hello
hello world
$ mv hello ~/bin
$ hello
hello world

sorry for the double post but ignore the previous message I read that you need to use “./” for it to run the compiled file.

You need “./” to run something that is not in the path, but is on the
current directory.
