How can I run a C program from Code Blocks?

Question

This is my first time using Ubuntu to run a C-File with a codeBlocks

1. I tried save as a File "file1" without extension file.

   Permission Denied

2. I tried chmod u+x file1

   Wrong something but builded success

3. I tried give "file1.c"

   File not found

Solution

First of all, Any C program is saved with .c Extension. And C++ program is saved with .cpp extension.

Now coming to compilation,

1. If you want to compile it using Terminal, Open the terminal (Press CTRL + ALT + T).

2. Go to the directory where the file is saved. (You can use cd command to change directory).

3. After reaching the directory , type gcc file1.c.

4. If there are no errors, then you can run the output by typing ./a.out.

Did you build after saving it as file1.cpp? Is it even building correctly?

Open the terminal ----> Go to the location of the file -----> type g++ file1.cpp and c file is saved with .c extention not .cpp.

@muru all Correctly

@Hunter Look like gpeddit with Terminal right

gedit is a text Editor. It is not a compiler. Have u installed any compiler like clang (for c) or gcc (for c) or g++ (for C++)?

[BeGood]

@Hunter Yes already gcc and g++

[Snake Eyes]

Is it c++ program or c program?

[BeGood]

@Hunter c program

Follow all the steps in the Code::Blocks Creating a new project wiki at codeblocks.org and please comment if it doesn't work.

@karel yes i did. new Project > Console program > C > run main.c (Helloworld). Result /.../Debug: File not found

[BeGood]

so Codeblocks can't complie itsefl?

[Snake Eyes]

Yes, it Can compile , You can use the "Build" option to compile

Users generally own the files they create automatically, and compilers automatically set execute permissions on the executable binaries they create (unless they can't, for example due to the filesystem not supporting it, in which case manually running chmod +x will also fail). A compiler might not make the program executable for the user if umask is set unusually, but then a different chmod command would be needed as well.
