doing C
some years ago, in a previous life, I dabbled in C programming on a Sun Unix workstation. Got to the point where I could solve mathematical brain teasers, write "hello whirled" on the screen and sort a file to count all of the 4 letter words etc.
More recently I have been writing C for a PIC microcontroller and didn't find it too steep a learning curve.
Anyway, I run Ubuntu10 on my desktop machine and I understand that this was written in C. Also, it would seem likely that there is some C compiler available with my Ubuntu install.
I have a simple text editor (gedit) and can write the text. Does anyone know how to inspire the compiler (if there is one buried in Ubuntu) to turn my text into an executable code?
Thanks,
