Steps to compile C / C++ programs using GNU compiler
April 11, 2006 8 comments
Till a few years back, it was really difficult to obtain a free version of a compiler to run on ones machine to learn C or C++. And one had to resort to using a commercial compiler either by paying money and buying a licence or using a pirated copy of the same.

Then GNU/Linux got wider acceptance and the rest as they say is history.
