And now for some programming...

[Jerry Feldman]

The compilers are gcc (for C language and g++ for C++). The standard 
compile lines are (assuming that cc is linked to gcc).
cc hello.c -o hello
c++ helloplus.c++ -o helloplus

You can use gcc or g++, but the cc and c++(or cxx) commands are pretty 
universal in Unix systems. The -o command line option directs the linker to 
create the executable named hello or helloplus. If this is omitted, the 
linker will create the executable as a.out. On Unix systems, the language 
command (eg. cc) is normally a wrapper which calls the various compile 
steps and the link step. The Linker on most Unix and Linux systems is the 
ld command, but you don't need to use it.

cc prog.c -c  # this creates prog.o
cc prog.o -o prog # This takes the object file and links it.
