Working with the g++ Compiler

Compiling a Program

Examples and projects in this modules can be compiled with g++ from the GNU Compiler Collection. With the proper libraries installed, g++ can be called directly for small to medium sized projects. The first example, just passing through the audio, is compiled with the following command:

g++ -Wall src/gain_example.cpp src/oscman.cpp -ljack -o gain_example

The compiler gets the extra argument Wall to print all warnings. All source (cpp) files are passed to the compiler, followed by all libraries which need to be linked (linker arguments). The name of the binary or executable is specified after the -o flag.
