Getting started with C on my Linux machine.

[ThaDoctor]

I would like to get started with programming in C, but I cant get it to
work, I do not need any compiler or such.
Only a basic explanation of the first program Hello World that print
"Hello World" on the screen.

Greetings Tobias

The whole point of the Hello World program,
is to gain enough familiarity with your C implementation
to write, translate, and execute a C program.

<ot>
Run a.out. man gcc for details, assuming that's your compiler.
Take further questions to comp.unix.progr ammer.

% gcc hello_world.c -o hi # compile the program
% ./hi # execute the program

In the above, '%' represents your command prompt.
Your questions are not really appropriate in this
newsgroup, but once you've figured out the basics
and have questions about the C language, those
questions will probably be topical. Make sure
to read the faq:

Go to the place where you "saved" the compiled file and write: ./<program>
That is: dotSLASH<progra m-name>

The same way you run any other program in Linux, which, if
you ran the compiler, you presumably already know.

How does it follow from running the compiler by invoking
"gcc hello.c" that one runs the program by typing "./a.out"?

Because in both cases -- more than both, since the OP presumably
knows more Linux commands than just `gcc` -- one types an
abbreviated version of the program's name.

The /real/ answer to the OPs question is, I suppose, "Usenet
is not, and is not intended to be, a substitute for an
actual person bootstrapping you."
