How to create executable from c source file? [Solved]

[linuxfluesterer]

Hallo guys.
I just simply want to execute a given c source file, which I need to compile (I assume with gcc???) to create an executable then.
I found this website:
https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/howto-com ... pile-demo/
but none of the three alternatives were working.
When I start this:

Code: Select all

gcc packet_sniff_raw_subodh.c -o packet_sniff_raw_subodh.o

I receive this:

Code: Select all

gcc-config: error: could not run/locate 'gcc'

Despite the errors, I already have installed gcc, gcc-ar gcc-config, gccgo gccgo-4.9.3, gcc-nm and gcc-ranlib.
And I have some experience with complete source directories including make files, where I can create executable files with the three steps:

Code: Select all

./configure
make
make install

btw, I also worked with cmake.
The thing is, in this case here I have just only a single .c file. How do I get it executable?
Thank you in advance.

Install the full gcc-suite

Code: Select all

# equo i @build-essentials

Install the full gcc-suite

Code: Select all

# equo i @build-essentials

Grazie, Sabayonino. That was it, the build-essential were missing. I thought I had installed them (long time ago). Anyway, what does the '@' mean before 'build'?

I will close this thread.

"@build-essentials" is a set of packages

Something else that I've learned, thanks. Though, I remember, in the past, Sabayon sets were not signed with a "@" in the past. Anyway, good idea. On the other hand, I was not able to make a 'search' for such a set with equo s. I mean, when I enter:

Code: Select all

equo s build-essentials

then I don't receive any result. See here:

Code: Select all

equo s build-essential

Hi...
The "build-essential" is a set apps named "build-essential", not an individual package...

[sabayonino]

Code: Select all

LANG="en_US" equo q --help

Code: Select all

Code: Select all

# equo q sets

gives a list of available sets configuried inside entropy.
