The following commands are in step 5 of the process of creating a sample library file and using it in a program (Chapter 1, page 11).

$ cgcc -c program.c
$ cgcc -c program program.o bill.o

When used, Linux complained because it could not find the command "cgcc".

bash: cgcc: command not found

Am I using the wrong shell? I went ahead and used "gcc" and it worked fine. I wanted to confirm this was actually an error before reporting it to the publisher.

If anyone still checks this forum...

Hello,

I didn't find anything about 'cgcc' on Google, either.
As I'm still learning the C language, I can't speak further about it, but of course 'gcc' works (or, even better, 'cc' in any Unix system - in most cases, it points to 'gcc').

Ok. I'll notify the publisher to see if they know about it.

Thanks,
ian

I'm pretty sure it is an error. I have used numerous versions of Linux since very early Slackware. Maybe it is used in win versions - I have no experience there.

the only thing I found was called " The Clever Compiler"

of course in our case I believe it to be a typo or the author was using the Clever compiler...
gcc is the correct command for us to use.
