How to compile and run C/C++ in a Unix console/Mac terminal?

Question

How can I compile/run C or C++ in Unix console or a Mac terminal?

(I know it, forget it, and relearn it again. Time to write it down.)

Answer 1

For running c++ files run below command, Assuming file name is "main.cpp"

1.Compile to make object file from c++ file.

g++ -c main.cpp -o main.o

2.Since #include does not support in MacOS so we should use its alternative which supports in Mac that is #include . Now object file needs to be converted to executable file. To use curses.h we have to use library -lcurses.

g++ -o main main.o -lcurses

3.Now run the executable.

./main
