I tried to search with google the problem it tell me that i must putat the end but .. I have the same error i dont understand .
Thank you very much for help , sam ...
Try this
$ mv prog prog.c $ make prog $ ./prog Paul.
Thank you Paul, so i have changed the name prog.c unstead of prog but "make prog.c" result "nothing to do ",maybe my little program is not makeable
Notice that Paul's suggestion was "make prog" not "make prog.c".
I don't know I have tried a lot of " how to begin in C"programs but these errors are blocking me. Thank you for a reply sam ...
Most beginning C books don't talk much about using a particular set of tools (editors, compilers, etc.). What you need is a "beginning C porgramming on Unix or Linux" guide.
A beginning C book *should* tell you that the steps are:
(1) Create your source file. (2) Translate your source file to an executable. (3) Run the executable.
Different systems have different ways to do these tasks. Paul's suggested steps are one way to do them in Linux. First you used an editor to create prog.c. Then "make prog" does the translation from source (prog.c) to executable (prog). Then "./prog" runs the executable.
