Apple says: Hi everyone that wonders into this tab. I'm just learning to use a Wiki so bare with me. *shameless plug for membership in BloomingLabs* You too could get a login to the wiki and edit here :)

I want to add some helpful hints to Janett's course and off the page tab in discussion seems the right area.

An interesting site that helped me yesterday is Learning C the Hard Way. In particular is helpful setup on Debian, Ubuntu, etc. run on the CLI (Command Line in a terminal window) will install what you need.

  $ sudo apt-get install build-essential

or for RedHat and other RPM based systems :

  $ su -c "yum groupinstall development-tools"

Helpful option to get gcc to leave intermediate files laying around is --save-temps as in:

  $ gcc --save-temps -o hello-world helloworld.c
