How to make an executable with gcc

[Brecht De Baets]

Hello,

I have to make an executable on HP-UX 11.23 from a file pdftkk.cc.
If I execute gcc pdftkk.cc, will it directly make an executable, or do I have to use another statement to get an executable ?

Regards,
Brecht

Since this is C++, I would suggest you use:
$ g++ pdftkk.cc

This should compile and link, unless you add "-c", for compile only.
