C language in Linux?

I know C language.

Now i want to practise it out in Linux. Can any one tell what are the exact differences like compiling or how to include various header files etc?

Also are there any tutorials or any good book available on C under Linux?

AFAIK the basic C (command line) is still the same. Write it . Save it. Locate the fle thro the terminal and type "gcc fn.c" to compile. You will get a .out file, this will be an executable.

Well .. the programs are the exact same ... except the part where u accessed the system .. and the best part is that the C compiler is built into linux .. so u won't need any third party app ... throw in the console ... make the ".c" file ... i think u have to compile by using the command "gcc" .. donno .. forgot ... did it a long time ago ...

u can use the,
gcc -o <fn_name> fn.c

to specify the name of the file say,
gcc -o shell_sort shellsort.c

AFAIK
Some headers such as conio.h aren't needed. Also call main function as int main() and return an integer. Others work alike.

If you use Suse 10.1 or Mandriva Linux Or FC5 , you can install the full documentation for C/C++ with Help. Almost any Linux will have C/C++ libraries.

I am also trying to learn C in Linux.I jus d/l a tutorial from
**www.learn-programming.za.net/learn_c_programming.html
and installed Anjuta IDE in my Ubuntu Dapper.now..Let's See

Because conio.h is borland extensions for C language. Its not a part of ANSI C

Change void main() to main() or int main(), There`s is no conio.h ,graphics.h and a few more changes

If you use Dev C++ on windows rather than TC++ then there will be no problems switching

(A few maybe... like FS etc...)

A minor correction. The "Official C Standard" is now ISO C, not ANSI C.
