Is it possible to mess up the programming in a universal remote?

Help getting started programming in C using Linux.

• In the past I have dabbled a bit with c and every once in a while I mess around with some web programming i.e. javascript, xhtml, but now i actually want to start programming for real and I decided to start by learning C seeing as how it is the base for c . Right now I am using Ubuntu Linux and I think that since I am not a very adept Linux user it would be a better learning experience. My problem is that I want to compile the most basic of C programs and I can't because I dont have the C libraries. So when I try to compile a program with "#include <stdio.h>" in it the compiler tells me: samp.c:1:19: error: stdio.h: No such file or directory samp.c: In function ‘main’: samp.c:5: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function ‘printf’ I am using the gcc complier from the command line, so my question is how do I get the library files necessary to get started programming in C.

• Answer:

  Hi The 'stdio.h' file should be in the '/usr/include' directory. In fact if Linux has been properly installed on your system ALL the include files should be there. How are you compiling the code? g++ or cpp or c++ followed by -o (that's a lower case letter o) followed by the name of the executable file followed by the program file: E.g. c++ -o myprog myprog.cpp will compile and link myprog.cpp into myprog which you will be able to run by just typing ./myprog on the command line. I hope this is of some help to you Regards G
