I know a little about C programming in itself but have been struggling to actual get to the stage where code becomes executable program. No matter what switches I use with GCC nothing workable seems to come out.

Its actually ironic, on Windows I would use the Borland command line compiler and would have 2 command promps and a text editor open because I couldn't afford their IDE. Now in Linux I have a decent IDE but can't get anything to work despite the program all looking pretty. Talk about role reversal.

well, even if i haven't given it a go c++ or whatever , look at some simple opensource programs that have a use and you may learn easier how to do stuff, and how to construct things. I am quite good a php now, and i haven't even bought a book or out and only occasionllay looked at tutorials

Does anyone know a decent online guide to C programming in Linux. Preferably it would contain quirks in comparison to standard C and how to get from a *.c code to a running program (tried messing with GCC to no avail so far), I've been using KDevelop but I can't find an embedded compile/run function so I assume your supposed to run GCC from the command line as included at the bottom. I've tried typing gcc *.c it gives me a file a.out which I'm not sure how to get running.

Have already looked at the Wiki but it only does C++ with no decent reference to C itself.

Cheers.
