Programming Projects

Program Compilation

The UMBC UNIX system runs two different versions of UNIX. The systems known as linux1 and linux2 run the version of UNIX called Linux. The systems known as irix1 and irix2 run the version of UNIX called Irix.

The graders will use either linux1 or linux2 to compile and test your program. Therefore, ALL PROJECTS must compile and execute on linux1 and linux2. If your project will not compile on linux1 or linux2, you will receive a major point deduction.

You will be using the g++ compiler. ALWAYS compile your program using the -ansi and -Wall options as explained in class. The graders will ALWAYS use these options when compiling your program.

See "Project Compilation" in the main 202 Syllabus for more details.
