    What's so weird about that? "g++ <main_file.cpp>" should take care of all your college-level compiling needs.

    And "g++ *.cpp" takes care of your multi-source-file needs.

    As I mentioned earlier, I did everything from Visual Studio, back at my dorm.  I would then Telnet in to the lab, copy/paste  the completed work into VI

    Why would you do that when you should be able to just FTP the file?

     

    ...to compile, run and test it under g++, as I explained.  Just in case there are cross-platform differences at work. 

     

    No, why would you copy/paste into vi, when there's a better solution?  Copy/paste into vi is sort of the "photograph on a wooden table" version of "getting my file from my pc to the mainframe."

    Strictly, the wooden table approach would involve printing out and OCR…
