g++:tldr:bae53
This command is compiling a C++ source file using the g++ compiler.
Here is a breakdown of the components of the command:
-
g++
: This is the command to invoke the g++ compiler. -
${path-to-source-cpp}
: This is a placeholder for the path to the C++ source file you want to compile. You need to replace this placeholder with the actual path to your source file. -
-o ${path-to-output_executable}
: This option specifies the name and path for the output executable file. Again,${path-to-output_executable}
is a placeholder that should be replaced with the desired path and name for the executable. -
-I${path-to-header}
: This option tells the compiler where to find additional header files or include directories. Replace${path-to-header}
with the actual path to the directory containing the header files you want to include. -
-L${path-to-library}
: This option specifies the path to the directory containing the required libraries. Replace${path-to-library}
with the actual path to the directory containing the library files. -
-l${library_name}
: This option tells the compiler to link a specific library, where${library_name}
is the name of the library file (without the "lib" prefix and the file extension). Replace${library_name}
with the actual name of the library you want to link.
Putting it all together, this command compiles the C++ source file, specifies the output executable file, includes necessary header files, links required libraries, and generates the executable file as a result.
