Talk:C Programming/Obtaining a compiler

I tried using Cygwin to run the exe, but an error prevented it. I then put the code into Dev-C++ and a very brief window came up which I couldn't read. I suggest playing with the Dev-C++ examples to start.

--- You can run the exe in Cygwin by using the ./ operator, ie "./hello.exe"

There are only examples on this page for Windows. Should instructions for Linux and Mac be here as well, or did I miss it? 67.188.17.114 00:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
