Programming in C++ for Ubuntu 10.04

[The_Flying_Skeptic]

I wrote the code for a simple text output program (hello world). I compiled test.cpp with g++ in the terminal

g++ test.cpp -o test

compiled fine.

ran the file ./test

the program ran fine, displaying "hello world".

how do I write the program or compile the program so that I can click the file and it will run in the terminal?

This:
http://git.kernel.org/gitweb.cgi?p=linux...xt;hb=HEAD

Code:

sudo aptitude install binfmt-support

And you'll be able to run the C file from the command line (with it autocompiling, placing itself in memory and executing).

Now onto displaying a CUI executable automatically - no dice. It doesn't work that way. You have to run a terminal and execute it there.

k... why do i have to install binfmt-support when I can already open the programs that came with ubuntu without running any command-line operations?

Read the documentation I linked to.

It does what you wanted.

If you want your program to pop up it's own window, make a shell script with

Code:

#!/bin/sh
xterm -t foo  -e myprogram &

Chmod +x it and click on it instead to launch your cui. Or you could make a real gui...
