How to: Run and Compile C Programming in Ubuntu

Today I am going to show How to  Run and Compile C Programming in Ubuntu.

Just a few step and you will able to run this C in ubuntu...

so here we go ...

This is the source code of a very simple program which I am going to compile and run:

#include<stdio.h>

int main(){

int pid,ppid;

pid=getpid();

ppid=getppid();

printf("PID=%d\n,PPID=%d\n",pid,ppid);

}

To Compile:

First, save your C programs as file_name.c. Your file name can be any but the extension has to be .c. After that, open the terminal and type:

gcc<space>file_name.c<space>-o<space>file_name

I saved my file by process.c name

e.g.

gcc process.c -o process.c

If your program don’t have any errors, it will successfully compiled.

To Run:

After you successfully, compiled the program, you can see a file_name.out in the place where you save your program.

To run the program, type:

./file_name

e.g.

./process

OUTPUT: PID=1020

PPID=1052
