2.2.2. Compiling source files to object code

Procedure

1. At the command line, change to the directory containing the source code file(s).

2. Run gcc with the -c option:

   $ gcc -c source.c another_source.c

   Object files are created, with their file names reflecting the original source code files: source.c results in source.o.

   注意

   With C++ source code, replace the gcc command with g++ for convenient handling of C++ Standard Library dependencies.
