Installation on UNIX/Linux
If you are using Linux or UNIX, then check whether GCC is installed on your system by
entering the
following command from the command line:
$ gcc -v
If you have GNU compiler installed on your
machine, then it should print a message as follows:
Using built-in specs.
Target: i386-redhat-linux
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr .......
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.1.2 20080704
(Red Hat 4.1.2-46)
If GCC is not installed, then you will have to install it yourself using the detailed
instructions
available at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/.
This tutorial has been written based on Linux and
all the given examples have been compiled
on the Cent OS flavor of the Linux system.
