Now I use FreeBSD 7.0 Current with Gnome. And I use Anjuta IDE to
write my C program, and then just do like this.
#gcc MYFILE.NAME -o MYFILE.NAME
#MYFILE.NAME
then it works well. but second time I use like this, there are some
errors.
Errors are:
#gcc MYFILE.NAME -o MYFILE.NAME
#MYFILE.NAME

Simple: do _not_ do that. Not many times, not once. You _cannot_ use the
same name for your C file and for your compiled program, as a moment's
consideration will explain to you.

Just don't do that. Try something like:
gcc MYFILE.NAME -o MYFILE.OTHERNAME
MYFILE.OTHERNAME
These commands you can execute as many times as you want.
But first start reading the gcc-manual, especially the section on the -
o option.

Oh. I understood. I shouldn't write "MYFILE.NAME -o MYFILE.NAME"
I just tried like this and it worked very well. Now I got it. Thanks.
#gcc /home/tsb/C/C.c -o /home/tsb/C/a

This is really a question about your compiler, not about the C
language, but the problem is common to most compilers.
C source files are normally named with a ".c" suffix. For example:
gcc myfile.c -o myfile
If you have more questions about this, try gnu.gcc.help.
<WAY_OFFTOPIC>
The '#' prompt implies that you're probably running as root. Don't do
that. You're making a mistake that destroys a single file; similar
mistakes can easily damage your system. Use an ordinary user account
unless you have a specific need for root privileges. If you have more
questions about this, try comp.unix.questions.

Provided there are no legal objections (e.g. GPL "pollution"), isn't it up
to him what he does with his source code?
I wouldn't care to put an accurate figure on the percentage of my code that
I publish, but it makes up a very small percentage of the code I write.
How much I publish is my decision, not yours. I see no reason why the same

It is not a simple statement of fact. It is unnecessarily rude and

As I understand it, at least some of the people who are challenging
him to provide source code, are not doing so because they want to use
his compiler. They're doing it in the expectation that if he does
provide his source code they will be able to use it to prove that his
code is just as bad as they believe his understanding of C to be. It's
one thing to explain C badly in a newsgroup message. Many people who
understand C perfectly have a hard time explaining their understanding
verbally, particularly if it's not in their native language. It's a
much more serious thing to write C badly in software that you're
actually charging people for permission to use. They suspect that he
has done so, but would prefer to have actual proof | |

My program is distributed freely. That is why the accuse me
(anonymously) of a "morbid interest for money". Then, I do not
know how C works, nor I do know anything at all. The fact that my

over the wold is a proof that I do not know how to program.
lcc-win32 has gone beyond half a *million* downloads. This
is the PROOF that I have no knowledge of C: it is one of the
most popular C99 implementations in the world.
Obviously those people have produced software more successful
than mine, specially Mark McIntyre, "old wolf" etc... Everyone
knows about them. *Their* programs can also be freely downloaded
isn't it?
Yet another problem for those people is the fact that I have
implemented the standard C, not some obsolete standard they appreciate.
Because they have all the time "standard C" in their mouths but when
it comes to the real standard then they say that... well they do not
like it, that nobody uses it, etc etc.
Since my program works, and people like it, it is badly written,
OBVIOUSLY!
Your logic is the same logic that goes on and on here:
If I have people that insult me anonymously, *I* am responsible for
*their* behavior because by writing and distributing a C compiler for
free I somehow "provoked" them into that. They just couldn't do
otherwise the poor people.
So let's stop this polemic. I will not reply to any messages in this
thread, and give these people more importance than what they actually
have.
I will just go on working for the C community as I have done since
more than 12 years.

Would it not be better to say that it is nearly C99? When I posted a
few problem programs (in a other group, since it is off-topic here),
you replied that those bits were "not implemented". That is fine, of
course, (very few compilers are fully C99 conforming) but glossing
over the bits that don't work adds to the suspicion that you put more
value on marketing spin than technical accuracy.

one thing to explain C badly in a newsgroup message. Many people who
understand C perfectly have a hard time explaining their understanding
verbally, particularly if it's not in their native language. It's a
much more serious thing to write C badly in software that you're
actually charging people for permission to use. They suspect that he
has done so, but would prefer to have actual proof

Yes. There is. Though maybe not on the surface. But if you scratch
underneath a little, it's pretty obvious.
And what makes us truly sad is the realization that, sure as the day
turns into night, if Jacob did publish his source code, someone (i.e.,
Heathfield, either directly or via a sockpuppet) would see fit to post a
line-by-line critique, complete with a snarky comment at every turn.
We've seen these line-by-line critiques before, and the glee and obvious
joy that the posters take in them is truly sickening.
What a waste of human potential! | |

I could see that there was a contradiction if they desired a copy of
the source code because they expect it to be competently written, and
they want to take advantage of that competence.
If they want the copy because they expect it to be incompetently
written, and they wish proof of that fact, then any contradiction is
too well buried for me to see it. I've scratched around underneath the
surface, as you suggested, and I can't find it. Could you elaborate on
the nature of the contradiction?
Fundamentally, behind the desire for the source code is a hope that if
it contains sufficiently clear evidence of his incompetence, Jacob
will either change his mind about the relevant issues, or be so
ashamed that he'll go away. That strikes me as wishful thinking. I
doubt that his code contains any evidence sufficiently clear to
achieve that effect. | |

For an amazingly large portion of the (world's) population, it IS.

You seem to have completely missed Kelsey's point. Jacob was saying that
lcc-win32 is quality because it has a large userbase. Kelsey was saying
that the same argument applies to McDonald's. But we know that McDonalds
is not quality - and even the people who use it recognise that it isn't
the Ritz or the Waldorf.
(I have never seen lcc-win32 for myself, I'm not going to say anything
about the quality of the compiler.)

Likewise. For all I know, lcc-win32 is the best compiler in existence. I
was merely objecting to the argument that popular means good - "Eat dung,
after all, a trillion flies can't be wrong." :) | |

Jacob Navia obviously has good capabilities. He is sadly lacking
in knowledge of the actual facts about C, and even worse, he
refuses to learn. To him the computer world seems to consist of
X86's, (provided equipped with the Pentium designation) running
under some form of Winders, and lately some form of Linux.

Intel has dropped the Pentium brand. It's just 'Core' now,
